MURCIA experienced a 2.5 magnitude earthquake on March 29 at 7:39 p.m., as reported by the National Geographic Institute (IGN). The quake reached a depth of 4 kilometres.
The Emergency Coordination Centre received at least seven calls related to the seismic activity, originating from areas such as El Valle Golf, Santo Ángel, La Alberca, and Algezares. Reports from IGN also indicated tremors felt in El Palmar, Baños y Mendigo, Los Garres, and El Ranero. While no significant damage was reported, the event stirred concern among locals.
Seismic activity, although relatively common in the region due to its geological composition, has been more common in recent months and serves as a reminder of the importance of preparedness and response measures. Authorities urge everyone to stay informed and follow safety protocols during such occurrences.
