OUR social PLAN

Picture
Picture
Hi everybody!! =D
From the committee of “Social Plan” of AIEMUM (IFMSA-Murcia) we want to welcome all of you and assure you that you will spend an amazing month with us in Murcia!

We usually organize for you a great social plan, with different activities: from a trip to the beach to a weekend in Granada. We hope you like and enjoy the program! However, it’s not an imposition: if there is any activity that you don’t want to do, you won’t be obligated to do it, and if you really would like to do something else that is not in the social plan, just tell us and we’ll do our best to organize it for you.


As  you  can  see,  there  are  some  activities  that  must  be  organized  in  advance (hostels,  buses,  rafting…),  so  you  will  have  to pay  for  them  beforehand.  We’ll give  you  a  bank  number  for  you  to  make  the  deposit.  


And nothing  else!  We  hope  you  enjoy  your  stay  in  Murcia  and  if  you  have  any questions  don’t  doubt asking  us  through  our  Facebook ,  we’ll answer as soon as possible! =)

The committee.


WELCOME DINNER
We want to welcome you to Murcia with dinner at your apartment where we will have typical food from Murcia. We will meet with you (as much of us from the committee as possible) so we can share experiences with you. And then ... party in the city center.

MURCIA’S TOURISTIC TOUR
Once all the incoming  students have arrived, we'll arrange a tour to show you the city: where you can  hang  out, eat, go  shopping, go to the cinema, to the Municipal  pool...).   
  • Price: of  course,  this  is  free.  It  can  be  fun  to  have  dinner  all  together  or  have a drink somewhere, so bring  some money for  that ;)   
  • How  to  get  there: Santo  Domingo  is  one  of  the  main  squares  in  Murcia.  You  can  go walking  from  your  flats.  We’ll  give  you  maps  of  the  city  the  day  of  your  arrival,  so you don’t  get  lost  ;P   
  • What  to  bring: nothing special,  camera  if  you  want  and  some  money  for  drinking or  eating  something.   
  • Advices: be on time at the meeting point, please!!

AQUA NATURA
Aqua  Natura  is  a  small  water  park  in  Murcia,  inside  a  zoo  called  “Terra  Natura”.  It’s  not  the  best water  park in  the  world  (if  you  want  to  go  to  a  better  one,  we  suggest  you  to  go  by  bus  to Aqualandia,  in  Benidorm),  but  it  can  be  a  good  plan  for  a  hot  afternoon  in  Murcia  and  you  can  get there easily by tram.
  • Price: 15  €  more  or less.  You  can buy  the  ticket  by  yourself  at  the entrance of the park.   
  • How to get there:  Take  the tram  (line  1)  and  get  off  at  the stop “Los Rectores, Terra Natura”   
  • What  to  bring: Bathing suit, towel, flip-flops, SUNSCREEN and  clothes  to  change after the activity.  
  • Advices : please, don’t  forget  the sunscreen. Moreover, it’s not allowed to go in with glass or tins.

DINNER (Tapeo)
Tapeo is very typical in Murcia. The small dishes known as the "tapas" can be consumed as an aperitif or to replace a full meal, especially dinner. The word covers a wide variety of foods: olives, omelette with potatoes, frying pieces of ham and cheese, calamari, anchovies, etc. "Go to have tapas" is to go from bar to bar, tasting at the counter or at a table, each of the specialties, often accompanied by a small glass of red wine ("Chato") or a beer. The custom is to pay a tour of tapas. This option can be very expensive, so we propose you to go to a restaurant with good tapas very cheap.​
  • Price: 10 €  more  less.
  • How to get there: we will go to your apartment and we will walk together to the square.
  • Advice: people usually dress up for dinner in this square.
​
RAFTING!
Murcia  has  a  river  called  “Río  Segura”,  with  very  very  little  water  in  the  city,  but with  much  more  in  the  north  of  the  Region.    The  idea  is  to  spend  the  morning descending  the  river.  
The  activity  includes: the material, the instructors, a little brunch, a photograph report and the   use of cloakrooms.   
When: Suturday 9th July.  
  • How: by car
  • Price : 20€   
  • What to bring: Bathing  suit,  towel,  flip  flops,  sun  cream,  cap,  clothes  to  change after  the activity  and  soap to  take a shower  before coming back.   
  • Advices: Again, sun  cream!  We  usually  wear  a  bathing  suit  underneath  a normal  t-shirt and short trousers which will get wet. An old sport shoes is better than flip flops.
​
​BEACH DAY!
One of the main  attractions  of our  region is  its  huge variety  of beaches and the nice weather (Murcia, where the sun lives!). There are some wild  beaches  with a difficult  access  (like  the amazing  Calblanque, in the first  picture); there are  other  super  touristic  beaches  and  you  can easily get  there by  bus  (La Manga, second  picture).
Our  idea is  to  drive  you  by car to  the wild  ones, and  teach you how to go by bus  to  the touristic ones!   ​
  • Price:  The  price  is  just  the  money  for gas. It  will  be  around  4-5  €  that  you  will  have to  pay  to  the  car  driver.  In  case  we  don’t  have  enough  car  drivers,  we  will  have  to take the bus, which is  a  bit  more expensive.     
  • How to  get  there: to  the  meeting  point  you  can  easily  go  walking  (Plaza  Circular  it’s another  main  and  centric  place in Murcia)   
  • What  to  bring: Bathing  suit,  towel,  flip-flops,  SUNSCREAM  and  clothes  to  change after  the  activity.  It’s  important  to  bring  lunch  from  home  (sandwich,  snacks, WATER…)  because there are no  bars  near.  
  • Advices: We  highly  recommend  to  take  sun  protection  because  we  will  spend  there many hours.
​
TRIP TO CARTAGENA (CATAMARÁN OLÉ)
Cartagena  is  the  second  most  important  city  in  our  Region  after  Murcia  (the  capital).  It’s  not  very big  but  it  has a  large  history  than to its  port.   We  will  visit  the  Roman Ruins  (circus,  amphitheater,  theatre)  and  a  lovely  port.  We’ll  also  go  for  a  walk  in  a  boat  by  the bay of Cartagena.
Opening times: We will decide it all together when you  are  here  as it  is just  30 minutes away  from  Murcia.  You  can  decide  whether  to  go  to  spend  the  morning,  the  afternoonevening, or  the whole day.   
  • How to get  there: Car  or  bus.  
  • Price : It  depends  on the way  of transport.  
  • Transport: the bus ticket costs around 9€ (go and come back) and  we’ll pay  it  at the  bus  station    the  same day. By car  it  would be cheaper.
  • Roman theatre:  6€  normal  price  (5€  with  youth  card).  We’ll  also  buy  the  tickets  there. Schedule:  Mondays, closed. Tuesday-Satruday  10-20. Sundays,  10-14.
  • Catamarán  Olé  (the  boat):  On  Sunday  there  are  just  a  walk  in  the  boat  all  around  the bay  (8€  for  adults  and  6€  for  students).  However,  on  Thursdays,  from  17-20  pm, there is  a walk  with music  and  bath  in  the sea. We recommend you  this  last  option. It costs  12  €  and  you  can  bring  your  own  food  (the  drinks  must  be  bought  in  the  boat). http://www.catamaranole.com/proximos-eventos.php# The  boat  it’s  the  only activity  of  this  day  you  must  pay in advance.
  • What to bring: Sun    cream,    cap/hat  and  money     to     buy     food/drinks.    Do  NOT  bring bathing suit  because the city  has  NO  beaches  (just    the    port    and    you    cannot  swim there).   
  • Advices: One more time,  SUN  CREAM. We’ll  be  walking  most  of  the  day  and  it  can  be  really  hot  (less  than Murcia,  but  hot anyways).
​
WEEKEND IN GRANADA
Granada  is  one  of  the  most  beautiful  cities  in  Spain.  It’s  a  small  one  but  its  beauty  is  well known  all  over  the  world.  The  idea  is  to  go  there  on thursday afternoon,  visit  the  Alhambra Friday in the morning and go out there if possible with the Granada incomings.   ​
  • Meeting  point: at  the  bus  station.  
  • Price: (it’s depends of the bus and hotel, I will give you more information soon)
  • Cathedral:  4  €.  You’ll  buy  the  tickets  there  by  yourselves.  Opening  hour: monday-saturday  10:45h -13:30h  and  16:00h -20:00h;  and  sundays  and  holiday  16:00h-20:00h.
  • Alhambra:  15’40  €  (adult  ticket)  or  10’40  €  (with  youth  card). Schedule:  general  tour  and  gardens:  monday-sunday  8:30h-14:00h;  14:00h-20:00h. It’s  VERY  important  to  buy  the  tickets  in  advance  because  if  not  you’ll  have  to go  to  the  Alhambra  really  early  in  the  morning  to  try to  get  the  tickets  making a huge queue.
  • Accommodation:  there  are  a  lot  of  cheap  hostels  in  the  centre  of  the  city.  We can  book  a  shared  room  for  10  people  and  2  nights,  which  costs  around  250/300 € (25-30 € per  person).
  • How to get  there: by bus.   
  • What  to  bring: summer  clothes  (as  Murcia,  in  Granada  it’s  very  hot  in  summer), party  clothes, money, camera…   
  • Advices: there  is  a  free  tour  (tip  based)  every  day  11 am  from  the  fountain  which  is in  New  Square.  It  lasts  about  2  hours  and  ends  in  Saint  Nicolas  (the  best  place  in Granada  to  see  the  Alhambra).  There's  another  tour  (the  tour  of  the  caves).  It  leaves Saturdays  and  Sundays  at  17  p.m.  It  lasts  about  2  hours.    For  more  information, http://www.freetoursgranada.com/index.html

SEVILLA Velá de Santa Ana
Sevilla is the capital city of Andalusia. Located in the South of Spain, Seville is one of the largest Spanish cities with over 700.000 inhabitants.
It is famous worldwide for its culture, monuments, traditions and artistic heritage. This is the birthplace of Flamenco and the city where the most amazing Easter processions take place.

Between 21 and 26 July, the Velá Santana (literally, "Saint Anne's evenings", because Saint Anne's day on the liturgical calendar is the 26 July) is celebrated on Betis Street. It is the city's second most important festival after the Feria de abril de Sevilla, although it is much older, dating from the 13th century.[12] Here people drink sherry wine and dance the sevillanas, a type of folk dance; eating roasted sardines is also a popular activity. The cucaña is a popular competition during this celebration: people try to take a prize from the top of a greasy pole over the river.
  • The idea is to take a bus to Sevilla from Granada and go out there with the Sevilla, Granada, Málaga and Cádiz incomings.

​
Balneario de Archena
Balneario de Archena is possibly one of the most historic spas since its beginnings date back to the 5th century BC, when the Iberian settlers settled in Archena, were the first to use the hot springs nestled in the Region of Murcia. The spa then became a must place to stop on the trade route into the interior of the peninsula to Castulo, capital of Turdetani. The Romans discovered the hot springs and decided to build a Spa.

Thanks to its properties, the Balneario de Archena´s minero-medicinal water is an excellent natural remedy for both physical conditions and to recover the general well-being of the body. This water has the ability to provide the rest and relaxation needed to improve the defense system, while favoring the maintenance and improvement of joints and facilitate the repair of the skin against aging.

Price may vary between 14 - 25 euro depending on the services you book.
Use swimming-cap, swimming costume and flip-flops in the entire pools complex. We recommend bring a towel or bathrobe or you could hire it in the Swimming-pools Access. You could leave your belongings in the changing rooms’ lockers, inserting 1€ coin to recover later.
