Also known as the Valle Morisco ("Moorish Valley"), due to the fact that this was the last redoubt of the Moors in Spain, the River Segura has made this a lush and almost unknown corner of Murcia, creating a fertile landscape of fruit and palm trees. Any visit to the valley must start at the Visitors Centre in Archena, a good starting-point for discovering the area and enjoying a form of tourism based on active tourism and rural and health pursuits.
