The narrow alleys of the Old Town, the pedestrian Calle Trapería between the Cathedral and Plaza de Santo Domingo, and luxurious Calle Jabonerias, are some of the city’s main shopping destinations. Calle Traperia is also home to Murcia’s casino, for those who want to try and increase their shopping budget. Nearby, food market Mercado Veronica is worth a visit as the Murcia region is known for its fresh and tasty produce.
Bargains can be made at the souvenir and flea market on Jeronimo de Roda behind the El Corte Inglés department store. The older areas of coastal town Cartagena also offer shopping options, as does the luxurious beach town La Manga. The Murcia region has a large number of wineries, many of them ecologically managed. Head for the Ricote Valley to explore some of them.
