A carnival coffin carried through midnight streets. Towering spires crowned in gothic secrets. In Murcia, everything sacred has a shadow and every celebration hides a story.

Trace these paradoxes on a self-guided audio tour built for explorers. Move beyond the postcard views as you uncover tales that even locals whisper about—stories tangled in ornate stone, flickering behind casino doors and erupting in wild pageants you never imagined.

Which centuries-old feud once divided the Cathedral’s keepers? Why do flames consume a paper sardine while thousands cheer each spring? What hidden scandal lingers in the velvet corridors of Murcia’s Casino?

Journey between reverence and revelry with every step. Plunge into alleys where power was seized or lost in a heartbeat. Murcia reveals itself slowly, offering its riddles to those willing to chase them.

The city’s wildest secrets wait within arm’s reach. Hit play and unlock them all.
