COSTA CALIDA AND MURCIA AREA:
Welcome to Murcia - golden sandy beaches, crystal clear waters, rugged mountains and rolling green field's. Murcia enjoys a year-round average temperature of 20 degrees Celcius and is blessed with nearly 3000 hours of sunshine annually. The region is lapped by the waters of the Mediterranean Sea and the Mar Menor, a great saltwater lagoon with salt marshes, ecosystems, islands and unique flora and fauna.
The Mar Menor is Europe's largest lagoon and is easy to explore, with several villages and towns dotted around its coast. This inland sea is contained by a narrow strip of land (known as 'La Manga') which separates it from the Mediterranean Sea. the lagoon is open to the Mediterranean at its tip, but due to it being only 7m deep at its deepest point, it is much warmer than the Mediterranean. In summer, a dip in the Mar Menor can be as warm as a warm bath! The lagoon is ideal for all kinds of water sports and its warm, shallow water makes it an ideal place for all the family.
