Lorca

The Lorca Castle is a must-see, offering panoramic views and a deep dive into the city's history. Other important sites include the Collegiate Church of San Patricio, the Plaza de España, and the numerous palaces and mansions that showcase the city's architectural heritage.

The best time to visit Lorca is during the spring (April-May) or autumn (September-October) when the weather is pleasant for exploring. However, if you want to experience the vibrant Semana Santa celebrations, plan your visit for the week leading up to Easter.

Be sure to sample the local cuisine, including migas (fried breadcrumbs with various ingredients), olla gitana (chickpea stew), and the delicious local wines. Also, don't miss out on the tapas culture, where you can enjoy small plates of various dishes at local bars.
