The area around Murcia town and San Javier boasts a plethora of historic monuments, museums, gardens and parks, monasteries and beautiful churches like the Sanctuary of the Purisima Concepcion Castle-Basilica in Yecla, one of Murcia's most important wine-growing regions.

Yecla itself offers many bodegas, where visitors are treated to tours of the vineyards and wine-tastings that include some of the regions most famous wines.

At Caravaca de la Cruz visitors are treated to a different kind of historic experience. The La Vera Cruz fortress boasts a marble baroque façade today, but its origins are actually Islamic. What is seen now dates mainly from the 17th and 18th century. The large walled compound once served for the Temple and Santiago Orders as a sanctuary; its 14 watch towers tell a story of constant war fare and threat to the religious orders as well as the immediate area throughout the ages. Caravaca de la Cruz is not far from Cehegin, where a number of other tourist attractions await discovery.
