Murcia is famous for the Mar Menor, a lagoon located in an area known as La Manga. Thanks to the lagoon, this area is particularly beautiful and rich, especially for fisheries. As for the city of Cartagena, its Carthaginian and Roman pasts result in plenty of remains which date back to the 2nd century B.C.E. These cultures left a mark in the city, as the Roman Theater clearly shows. The Muslim past is also visible, not only through the architecture, but also through the food: its cuisine is based on rice and vegetables. All of this makes Murcia a place full of nuance.
