Murcia by car
Murcia grew inside an irrigated plain of orchards fed from the Segura since the days of the emirate, and the fruit trees still press against the suburbs. Summers are long and fierce, which pushes daily life into the evening.
Driving in Murcia
Murcia is reached by A-30, A-7 and the MU-30 ring road. Parking in the centre is paid and marked by zone. Driving through the centre is restricted, so most drivers park on the edge.
Arriving by road
The A-30 crosses the municipality from south to north on its way between Cartagena and Albacete, and the MU-30 runs from Alcantarilla to the El Palmar district in the northwestern quarter. In the east, the RM-1 is planned to link Santomera with San Javier, while the RM-15 reaches the northwest from Cehegín via Alcantarilla.
From the airport without a car
Región de Murcia International Airport lies beside the A30 Highway in the suburban district of Corvera, and a bus line links it with the San Andrés-Murcia Bus Station in the city.

Frequently asked questions
Spain: which side of the road do they drive on?
On the right. Speed limits are posted at the roadside and differ between towns, open roads and motorways.

Do I need an International Driving Permit?
An International Driving Permit is recommended alongside a non-EU licence.
What are the speed limits in Spain?
