Murcia rewards timing: the blue zone runs September to June (Mon–Fri 9:00–14:00 & 16:30–20:00, Sat mornings) at €0.50–1.00/hour with a 2h30 cap – and in the height of summer enforcement relaxes as the city empties inland. The cathedral quarter is largely pedestrian, so the game is garages on its rim plus the free river-side lots. Here's 2026.
