They date back to the 1960s and have their origins in the old Ruiz Hidalgo Park which occupied the groves of the Segura River as it passes through Murcia. The garden has two parts separated by the New Bridge, and along its route we can contemplate specimens of large trees such as Tipuanas and Jacarandas.
The Hospital Bridge was built in 1973. It owes its name to its location in front of the old General Hospital of Murcia, currently the Reina Sofia Hospital. It is now known as the Calatrava Bridge because its current design is due to the engineer Santiago Calatrava, who renovated it between 1994 and 1999, converting it into a modern structure

Increase the visibility of your properties for sale by listing them on The Journal’s property portal Introducing an inexpensive way to advertise your properties online and boost sales for both; real es- tate companies and private owners. The prices of listing a property for sale for an estate agent are dif- ferent from those of a private property owner.
Why advertise with us? At The Journal, we are continuously working behind the scenes to gather as much information as possible from all the surrounding towns and making it accessible on our website for anybody to read, we focus on upcoming events, activities, news, guides and much more to keep people interested and to become the talk of the town so your properties get maximum exposure!
For private owners, listing starts at only 70€ + IVA for the first 3 months, which includes us putting it on the website for you, after this you can renew monthly for only 15€ + IVA / month, and you can cancel at any time, no strings attached, nor any complicated contracts, just a simple agreement form needs to be signed, that’s all!
You will have to write us a detailed description of the property and take staged well lit pictures of all rooms of the property, the outside, and if possible the surroundings too, all of these can be sent to us via email, given in person on a flash drive or using online services such as Dropbox or Drive. eW will do the rest!
If you ever need to update your property information such as the price, change or add images, change with a better description, we only charge a small 10€ + IVA fee to do so.
We strongly advise you to get a keyholder in place if you are not living anywhere near the property so that if anybody wants to view the property, your keyholder can help out and show the property to any- body interested in seeing it.
Are you ready to take control of the sale of your property? Send us an email at [email protected] with a “YES” to get started.
For real estate companies, we offer several packages for different size companies, with the first pack- age having a limit of 100 properties available to be uploaded month, we also offer higher packages of 200, 500 1000+, These are done by automatic XML feed with price upon request. There are already reputable real estate companies advertising on our portal; Blue Med Invest, Campo- sol Property Sales, Mercers and Luz del Sol just to name a few. Will you be next?
The Journal is growing quickly and spends a big amount of it’s profits back into advertising on Fa- cebook, Google increasing visibility of the portal and your properties. If you are interested in getting aboard and want to start selling your properties quicker, we suggest you do this today as prices may change in the near future.
