There are places in the city that are not safe but if you dont go there the other places are okay, obviously you need to take care of your things everywhere, is more safe than other places in spain like madrid or barcelona

I have been in Murcia, Spain for a couple of months as a solo traveler and have felt very safe going in and out and taking the train. It feels like a very welcoming place and relaxed as well. I have walked around the main part of the city alone and do not worry about others. I highly recommend Murcia if you are looking for a relaxed affordable smaller city to explore in Spain. šŖšø
Posted: March 14, 2025Murcia is overall a safe place but it has its dangerous parts and lots of dark streets. Itās always better to be overly wary of people and of being out after dark than it is to find yourself in dangerous situations.

Overall there's no problem. Staying safe it's easy, the things that happen normally are more at typical nightclubs, not the alternative or independent ones but more the mainstream. There are certain specific neighborhoods that are better to avoid but it's just very specific.
Posted: January 26, 2025Murcia is one of the safest cities in Spain, but I have to admit that in the last two months, it has become less safe. There are a lot of immigrants who commit crimes or say things to you when you are walking on the street.

Solo travel
It was beautiful. I went to a town called Ćguilas and even though it looked somewhat old, the beach was amazing, the food was cheap and good and the vibe was just incredible. Highly recommend. Also the capital is great, it's a total different vibe to the town nonetheless.

About Me
Iām a passionate teacher from the Dominican Republic, and I get the joy of working with 7 and 8-year-olds, bringing creativity to life through art and crafts. I love every moment of teaching, especially when I see the sparkle in my studentsā eyes as they explore their imagination. Outside the classroom, Iām a big fan of traveling! Whether itās discovering new places, meeting interesting people, or just listening to their stories, Iām always up for an adventure. The ocean and nature are my happy places ā I find peace in their beauty and calm. I also have a soft spot for vintage markets, especially when it comes to clothes. There's something magical about finding that perfect piece that tells a story. And letās not forget the freedom that comes with traveling ā itās a feeling I treasure deeply. Currently, Iām expanding my knowledge by studying a Masterās in Special Education in Murcia.
