Spain continues to surprise those in search of unique experiences, offering increasingly sophisticated ways to connect with nature. Away from bustling resorts, in the very heart of the fertile Murcia region, a new concept has emerged that blurs the line between history, nature, and modern comfort. Just a ten-minute drive from the provincial capital, nestled among citrus groves, lies an extraordinary complex that offers a fresh perspective on country leisure. Here, guests can stay in a rare vintage vehicle that has been carefully restored and converted into fully equipped apartments.
The idea is to give visitors a complete immersion into the atmosphere of the mid-twentieth century, without depriving them of modern comforts. Each of these unique accommodations offers a self-contained space with a fully equipped kitchen, a full bathroom, as well as air conditioning and heating systems, ensuring a pleasant stay at any time of the year. Reliable internet access allows guests to stay connected, though the ambiance itself is ideal for a digital detox. Special attention is paid to privacy: each “room” has its own fenced area with a spacious terrace for barbecues and a cozy gazebo with garden furniture. All of this is surrounded by fruit trees, creating a sense of total harmony with nature.
The creators of this project have carefully thought out every detail to make it attractive for year-round visits. In the hot summer months, the shaded veranda becomes the heart of the property, the perfect spot for evening gatherings amidst the sound of cicadas. In autumn and winter, when the sun is less intense, the glazed section of the terrace allows guests to enjoy warmth and light while taking in the tranquil landscapes of the Murcian “huerta.” Its strategic location on the outskirts of Guadalupe, next to the UCAM university campus, makes it an ideal starting point for exploring the region. From here, it’s easy to reach historic Cartagena, the coast of La Manga, the picturesque Ricote Valley, or set off hiking along the trails of Sierra Espuña. The cost for this unique accommodation starts at a very reasonable 49 euros per night. Moreover, as insiders say, booking directly with the owners can offer better terms than using popular online booking platforms. This type of accommodation is a striking example of how creativity and care can breathe new life into historical artifacts, turning them into attractions for travelers seeking not just a place to stay, but a real adventure.
