This beautiful part of mainland Spain is probably Spain’s best kept secret with the beautiful Mar Menor (little sea) a seawater lagoon divided from the Mediterranean Sea by the La Manga Strip, a natural breakwater that has progressively enclosed it. Almond trees, bright pink bougainvillea, perfumed jasmine, orange and lemon groves, windmills and the constant blue skyline add to the beauty of the landscape of this area. The land is mainly flat and has been given over to agriculture, so offering the most wonderful selection of fresh fruit and vegetables Spain can offer.

Without any waves and with very shallow waters, this makes the ideal beach holiday or permanent living area in Spain, especially for the elderly and/or families with children, as the beach is so safe. The beach is protected from the open sea by the La Manga strip, and so the waters are warm all year round, making bathing possible even in winter months. There are wonderful water sports facilities in this area and it is known locally as the windsurfer’s paradise. The Mar Menor offers all types of sporty entertainment including sailing, water skiing, horse riding, paddle tennis, squash, bowling greens and not forgetting golf, with three championship golf courses at the La Manga Club and the exquisite restaurants, the famous are also attracted to this area.

The bay is famous for visitors with rheumatic, arthritic and skin problems. There are natural mud baths offering therapeutic results in comparison to the Black Sea. The Mar Menor has a high iodine and salt content providing a very therapeutic bath. The University of Murcia has confirmed this information.

Los Alcazares is a thriving town in the Mar Menor, and situated only three minutes drive from San Javier (Murcia) airport. The coastline is unspoiled with scattered villages such as Los Urrutias, Los Nietos, and Los Belones. Eventually arriving at the onset of the 18km long “La Manga Strip”, this is around 15 minutes drive south of Los Alcazares, you will come across the lovely fishing port of Cabo de Palo with its breathtaking headland and famous fish restaurants. There is a Sunday morning market and little places along the harbour to sit and have a drink and take a tapa (small covering snack before lunch) or a mouth-watering paella and salad.

This area offers wonderful harbours and marinas, and with these wonderful forms of entertainment and leisure activities it is no wonder that this area attracts people of all age groups and from all walks of life.
