How Murcia.chat works
Murcia.chat is a chat about the city of Murcia (Spain), its districts and the Region. You ask it as you would ask someone who knows the city well, and it answers with data from reliable sources, always with a link. Ask in English and it answers in English.

More than an answer
What you can do from the conversation itself.
Follow the thread
Ask “and tomorrow?”, “and in El Palmar?” or “what about cats?”: it understands what you mean without you repeating it.
Sign up or get in touch
To adopt, volunteer, run a race or join a workshop, it prepares the message or form for you. You send it yourself: Murcia.chat sees nothing.
What’s happening now
Ask what’s on tonight in the centre or what’s open nearby: events, opening hours, transport and incidents for that place.
Share it
Every answer has its own link: whoever opens it sees the conversation as it was and can keep asking.
Our principles
Always with the source
Every answer says where it comes from and links to the original page. If something matters, check it there.
Facts only
From each website we take only what’s needed (a timetable, a price, a headline) with its attribution and licence. If a website prefers not to appear, it’s removed.
Non-profit
It is an independent, free project with no ads. It doesn’t speak on behalf of any administration.
It can be wrong
If a fact isn’t in its sources, it searches the internet and marks it as unverified. Before an important decision, check the source.
