Murcia, Region of Murcia, Spain offers diverse fishing experiences across its Mediterranean coastline and inland waters.

Live hermit crab proves most effective bait here. Inshore options include beach, rock, and boat fishing, with dorado frequently appearing in local waters. The Segura River and Almadenes Canyon provide freshwater adventures amidst UNESCO-recognized rock art sites.
Fishing charters operate year-round from locations like La Manga del Mar Menor, with options including specialized tuna trips, family-friendly excursions, and spearfishing expeditions. Required fishing licenses cover coastal, boat-based, and freshwater angling, available through regional authorities.
