Hi, we are currently on holiday in Benferri. We are looking to travel to Murcia tomorrow. Can anyone point me in the direction of a good taxi service please? I know it’s a big ask but preferably one that speaks some English- I do know basic Spanish. Also, is Murcia a nice area to visit? Just really looking for a quiet place to shop and have lunch?
many thanks
Chan

Hi Chan,
Murcia is a beautiful city. If you ask the taxi driver to take you to Plaza de Belluga, also known as Plaza de Glorieta, where the Catedral de Murcia is located, you can wander the streets of the old town, where there are lots of bars and restaurants, and individual shops. In the newer part, you'll find all the chain stores, as well as El Corte Inglés department stores - all within walking distance of the old town. At this time of year, go in the morning, or early evening, as some of the smaller shops close for a period in the afternoon - usually between 2pm and 5pm.
Alternatively, you could go to the shopping mall, Nueva Condomina, just off the A7 on the outskirts of Murcia - great for chain store shopping, but without the beauty and charm of the city centre. It's open all day and, of course, air-conditioned:
I can't recommend taxi services, as I"m not in your area, but taxi licences are issued by the Town Halls, so they should be listed on their website.
Kind regards,
Kim
Try this number 618740202, I used them once although it was a while ago and you will need to use your Spanish language skills.
I would also reiterate what the previous poster said about Murcia and Nueva Condomina, good range of shops in both areas and Murcia is a lovely city if somewhat busy after tranquil Benferri.
