Title: murcia

The capitol of our neighbouring province, there's quite a bit to offer at just over an hour's drive away.  In addition to the (inevitable) cathedral, the casino is a must-see.  (You have to pass IKEA to get to it all mind)
Coming up shortly (end March usually) is "the burial of the sardine".  This is celebrated in other Spanish cities, but they do it well here.  Expect a very late night, as they don't get to the grand finale until 1 in the morning.
Tourist info office very helpful with free map & recommendations.
