I left my city (Murcia) to live abroad many years ago. Now seeing its transformation and the effort of its people has been quite shocking. Many of the things were quite controversial (like the pedestrianization of Alfonso X), but now we take them for granted. My city has improved so much these years, and I really hope it continues this way many more. It really could become a paradise.
As an Italian it's both amazing and painful to see our cousins evolving from the car-centric city to a more beautiful and sustainable one. Here all our mayors are focused to keep the seat until the next election and nobody dares to change the status quo with unpopular (at the beginning) decisions. Even in the most "progressist" cities (like Milano, Bologna, Torino) the best we can have is a new depressing bike lane on the side of a 4 lane car road, or a new tram line in 10 years in the best case scenario. Then you visit cities like Valencia, Murcia, Barcellona and you see how brave, determined and farsighted they and their politician are. Que invidia!
I lived in Murcia for a year, ten years ago. I cycled all over this city, enjoying, commuting, and exploring. Thanks for the video; it was a great way to feed how much Yo echo de menos this city! Beautiful move, cities for people.
im very glad to see this which gives me a more positive impression of a city of which my only experience was a very racist landlord from murcia in donostia/san sebastien who complained that basque people don't know how to speak spanish (i'm not from any region in spain but visit often for various reasons).

What an amazing demonstration the people of Murcia have done and what an important one!
Seeing them come together and protest with song was really powerful and moving!

Great video. I especially like that it puts the spotlight on smaller cities outside of capitals!
