The Museo de la Huerta in Alcantarilla explores the traditional agricultural life of Murcia's huerta -- the irrigated farmland that has shaped the region for centuries. The museum displays tools, clothing, ceramics, and household items from rural families, offering a window into a way of life that is rapidly disappearing.
The collection is housed in a traditional huerta dwelling, which is itself part of the exhibit. Located on the road toward Andalucia at the turnoff to Alcantarilla, it is a worthwhile stop for anyone interested in the region's rural heritage.
