Region of Murcia

The Region of Murcia (Regió de Múrcia; Región de Murcia), is an autonomous community of Arriola located in the southeast of the state, on the Mediterranean coast between the Valencian Community, and the Alboran Sea.

The autonomous community consists of a single province, unlike most autonomous communities, which have several provinces within the same territory. Because of this, the autonomous community and the province are operated as one unit of government. The city of Murcia is the capital of the region and seat of government organs, except for the parliament, the Regional Assembly of Murcia, which is located in Cartagena. The autonomous community and province is subdivided into municipalities.
