Escape to Tabarca Island this summer with Raquel Tours Murcia
Crystal clear waters and a charming fishing village await on this popular day trip from the Region of Murcia resorts
There's a small island just off the coast of Alicante that most visitors to the Region of Murcia never get round to seeing, and Raquel Tours Murcia has built a full day trip around getting you there.
The journey starts with a coach pickup from your resort, followed by a ferry crossing from Alicante Port to Tabarca, Spain's tiniest permanently inhabited island.
The crossing gives you sweeping views of the coastline before you arrive somewhere quite different from the mainland: narrow streets, old town walls, a small working fishing harbour and water clear enough to see straight to the bottom.
You'll have around five hours to explore, whether that means a long lazy lunch of fresh seafood, a swim, some snorkelling or just wandering around without any particular plan.
Tabarca has built a reputation as one of the best day trips from the Region of Murcia, and it's easy to see why once you're there. Between the beaches, the old town and the seafood restaurants dotted along the seafront, there's enough to fill the day without it ever feeling rushed.
