September 2 Guided tour IN ENGLISH of the town of Alhama de Murcia
Get to know the sights and history of Alhama before a little light shopping at the weekly market!
This guided tour of Alhama de Murcia in English on 19th August is the third of four programmed during the summer of 2025, and takes in the most important buildings and landmarks of the town while shedding light on its rich history, from prehistoric times through the eras of Roman and Moorish rule up to the Christian “Reconquista” and the present day.
By happy coincidence, all of the tours in English are scheduled to take place on Tuesdays, meaning they run alongside the weekly street market – a perfect combination to enjoy a morning out in the town and stock up on the amazingly fresh fruit and vegetables on offer at the market before coffee and maybe a spot of lunch at one of the friendly bars and restaurants!
The tour begins at the tourist office in Plaza de la Constitución at 9.30 and lasts approximately 90 minutes, following a route through the town centre which is easily accessible for those of limited mobility.
Bookings can be made online here or by telephone on 968 633512 and the price is just 3 euros for adults and 2 euros for children up to the age of 12. Payment should be made on the day of the visit, preferably by credit or debit card.
