The city has more than 600 works, among them made a selection of 40 to highlight some while walking routes between Murcia and tourists are encouraged.
A brochure will be distributed in hotels, tourist offices and cultural centers sets out in detail the four routes to be performed in a guided way twice each month throughout the year.
On Saturday 30, at 11 am from the Memorial Conde de Floridablanca, in the garden that bears his name, will start the first of these tours 'Murcianeando' routes.
