Region o Murcie
The Region o Murcie (Spainyie: Región de Murcia, Template:IPA-es; Template:Lang-va, Template:IPA-ca)[1] is an autonomous commonty o Spain locatit in the sootheast o the kintra, atween Andalusie an Valencie Commonty, on the Mediterranean coast.
The autonomous commonty consists o a single province, unlike maist autonomous commonties, which hae several provinces athin the same territory.

The autonomous community an province is subdividit in municipalities.
The Region o Murcie is bordered bi Andalusie (the provinces of Almería an Granada); Castile-La Mancha (the province o Albacete, which wis historically connectit tae Murcie till 1980); the Valencie Commonty (province o Alicante); an the Mediterranean Sea. The community measurs 11,313 km² an haes a population o 1.4 million, o whom ane-third live in the caipital. The heichest muntain is Los Obispos (2,015 m).
