Molina de Segura Tourist Office

As its name suggests, Molina de Segura lies on the banks of the River Segura and is considered to be the capital of the Comarca of the Vega Media del Segura.

The municipality covers an area of 169 square kilometres, and is just 10 kilometres from the capital city of the Murcia Region.

For this reason it is an important focal point of habitation for those who work in the capital city and 66% of its population live within the main urban area of the municipality.

Around the outskirts of the town itself are several major industrial areas, making this the fourth largest population concentration within the Murcia Region apart from Murcia City, Cartagena and Lorca.

Molina de Segura has an important industrial heritage and the tourist office offers guided visits to highlight the industrial past of the area, from which an important contemporary art industry has emerged. Several major artists working in the region today are resident and work in this area, and Molina de Segura has accumulated an important art collection as a result.

The town is also surrounded by agricultural cultivation, making this a practical choice for those seeking rural accommodation close to the capital city.
