Travel Around Murcia, Spain

When visiting Palatinum Golf, Spa, and Sport Resort in Murcia Spain, you have a few options depending on how you would like to go about traveling around the area.

Flying
Whenever flying in and out of Murcia, Spain, you will go to the Murcia-San Javier Airport (MJV), which is located at the edge of the Mar Menor. There are regular daily flights in and out of Murcia at this airport.

Take the Bus
Bus transportation is provided by LatBus, which operates both the urban and interurban bus services. The bus station is located on the western side of town, near Museo Salzillo. Local bus services include Cartagena Alicante, Orihuela, and Lorca. Alsa also has daily buses going to Granada (3.5 hours), Valencia (4 hours), and Madrid (5 hours).

Ride the Train
If you would rather take the train, RENFE (La Red de los Ferrocarriles EspaƱoles) is situated south of the Rio Segura. Up to five trains travel daily from Murcia to Madrid (4.5 hours) and trains also operate hourly to Lorca and Alicante (1.5 hours).

Car Hire
In the summer months, when the area has more tourists, car hire services provide a comfortable alternative to riding the other crowded transportation systems. Car hire companies have representatives at their own receiving area at the San Javier Airport of Murcia.

Tramway Transportation
The Tramway is another alternative to get around the area. Currently there is about a mile and a half of service available but construction is currently taking place for the production of 4 more lines.
