The Town Cehegín-Ortega Inmobiliaria Estate Agent Legal Services Murcia.

Cehegin has its roots dating back to before Roman times. Its attractive historic old town is protected and contains many noblemen´s houses, quaint little cottages and is steadily being restored. It has many excellent tapas bars and a clearly signed walk through its narrow, often cobbled and sometimes traffic free streets. Yet only a few minutes walk is the Gran Via (High Street) where the people are to be found promenading or enjoying a quiet drink.

Cehegin is a typical town situated approximately 600 metres above sea level in the north west of Murcia. It is surrounded by mountains and extensive countryside where much of the fruit from the region can be found growing. This area is known as the “Huerta de Europe” – The Orchard of Europe. It has excellent road links, situated a little over an hour´s drive from both Murcia (San Javier) and Alicante Airports.

The town has both an historic old “pueblo” and a newer part where several new developments of “duplexes” are to be found. Over the last couple of years the town has seen significant resettlement of English people but has retained its´ individual and very Spanish, charm.

Cehegin has many bars and restaurants, good schools and everything you could want for day to day living, with several good supermarkets and other shops, even boasting an English "goodies" shop. The local market is held every Wednesday, selling everything to locally grown fresh fruit and vegetables to clothes and of course shoes. The surrounding towns also have markets of varying size throughout the week.

There is a large health centre with an English Speaking doctor and approximately 7 kms away in the next town, Caravaca, there is an excellent large accident and emergency hospital.

This is an excellent place to visit or better yet, to live.
