One of the best culinary towns in Spain had a fiesta week, where a lot of people joined in to see the events. At nighttime the streets and restaurants were full of humans enjoying themselves.

The New Normal restrictions had beaten down businesses, and people waiting in long lines all masked up deterred joining in. Most restaurants were reserve-only, so could not just walk in for a tapas.
Surprisingly there was a concert on the riverside, live music in Spain has been a rarity since the first lockdowns. Sirens going off often kind of takes away the enjoyment.
Waiting in line for hours just to see a few things is not a thing for adventurer, so kept some distance from the attractions. The Feria of Murcia was a nice idea, but the carnival was not there anymore.
The best part of the town is the unique plates of food, even though some places like to scam for extra money. Understandable, since the regulations make running a business almost impossible and every cent counts.
This food was delicious, but they lied about the custom of a drink including tapas, adding up 5 more Euros to the bill. These times have seen various scams, so it is good to prepare by checking the numbers.
The history is interesting, with moorish architecture and different saints. A lot of esoteric art and pretty churches, with a chill riverside to walk around.
Bridges are nice, my spiritual task has been bridging the new religions, like money and viruses with old knowledge from the north and some 5d ideas.
The vivo 5g phone makes decent night pictures, not too bad for a lower-end mobile. One of the best things in Murcia is definitely the variety of cheap foods, and pretty quiet environment.
It is a must-visit for food lovers, no beaches, being more inland. A few good speciality coffee places too, which is not too usual in Andalucia.
