The Costa Calida/Murcia region.:
Literally translated as ‘warm coast’, this relatively undiscovered area of Spain has the mildest climate in the country and offers visitors the chance to discover the real Spain.
With two seas to choose from, the Mediterranean and the Mar Menor, the coastline offers impressive cliffs, wonderful beaches, lively harbours and secluded coves. Huge plains, dramatic mountain ranges and national parks with lush forests are what define the interior landscape giving visitors the chance to relax and enjoy nature or participate in the many activities on offer.
The Murcian region is a sport and nature lovers’ paradise, play golf on one of the many courses, learn to sail, explore sunken treasures, do a spot of fishing, take a mud bath and enjoy a tranquil swim in an unspoiled cove or canoe to the north of the Mar Menor where the flocks of flamingos provide a stunning sight. The National Parks are a paradise for climbing, hiking, mountain biking and horse riding,
