Cehegín is centrally situated in the Northwest region of Murcia about 600 meters above sea level providing its dry mountainous climate compared to the humidity found on the coast. The town has approximately 14,000 inhabitants spread across the various villages.
Cehegín is approximately 62km from the city of Murcia, which is linked by the 
new motorway. Both International airports in Alicante and Murcia are just over an hours drive away as are the beaches that can be easily reached. The main quality of Cehegín is its old town, built on a mountain. The town is made up of a mix of old medieval houses, churches and glorious architecture providing an enchanting quality as you stroll around the tranquil narrow streets. For those of you that like the countryside and scenery you will find all of this and more in the area: valleys, mountains, reservoirs, forests and wildlife. 
Enclosed by mountains and surrounded by a large forest area, Cehegín’s centre has been declared to be of historical interest. Near to the village are 3 caves that contain conserved prehistoric wall paintings. On the first Sunday of each month, an art market is held in the El Mesonico Plaza.
