Part 2/13:
Murcia, often regarded as one of Spain’s top seaside towns, is not just an agricultural hub, dubbed “Europe’s Orchard” for its extensive production of fruit and flowers. It offers a low cost of living, with apartments starting at €500 per month, making it a practical choice for those seeking affordability. A meal at a local restaurant averages around $10.
Situated in a relatively small population of under 500,000, newcomers have found it easy to mingle with locals and expats alike, enjoying a community atmosphere. However, be prepared for warmer weather, as summers can be exceptionally hot and dry. Despite this, Murcia presents a charming atmosphere that attracts many international students due to its universities offering courses in English.
