Murcia, the land of Alejandro Valverde

El Periódico Mediterráneo - General3 September 2026 at 06:21

Murcia is described as the land of Alejandro Valverde, a territory inhabited by resilient men and women. The article characterizes the region as a place of hardworking and determined people.

Many inhabitants emigrated to other places about a century ago, seeking not so much fortune, but rather an opportunity to escape the poverty and hunger that plagued the region at that time.

Currently, the coastal area of Murcia depends heavily on tourism as the main economic engine. Tourist activity dominates the economic and social life of the region.

There is also a town called Camposol, practically exclusive to British residents. In this place, Castilian Spanish is barely heard and all social dynamics revolve around the English language.
