This has to be better than driving into the city

Set up Google tool bar to translate so it automatically translates in to English

I actually tried out the Tram yesterday so that I can provide the travel information to clients and found it very quick and easy to use with lots of help from the staff on the platforms

We parked at Neuvo Condminium which is the end of the line and walked the short distance to the stop, fare into the City Centre €1.50 or you can get 15 journeys that last a year for €10. children under 4 travel for free

It runs in a horse shoe shape from NC, through the City to The University, same fare for a journey from end to end, €1.50 and has a stop at Terra Natura so you can also catch it in the University area

The main stop for the City is Plaza Circular which is around 1km walk from the Catherdral area up through the main shopping streets

This is a good cheap way to combine a trip to the shopping centre and City especially if you don't want to fight with the city traffic or find parking

 Thanks this is great information .We are coming over at the end of june and would like to travel around .Where exactly is Neuvo        Condminium is it close to condado?Do you know how late the trams run everyday?thanks mejazi10

The trams run everyday from early till 11pm and leave the station every 10 minutes

NC is the large shopping centre in Murcia close to IKEA which is around 45 minutes from Condado, just look up IKEA for directions
