The Costa Calida/Murcia region The Costa Calida (Warm Coast) is almost unknown to many people and probably Spain's Best Kept Secret, with the beautiful Mar Menor (little sea) the largest salt-water lagoon in Europe also considered to be the worlds largest swimming pool, which is safe for all forms of water sport; it is non-tidal, crystal clear and shallow never reaching more than 7 metres in depth and with average water temperature of 23 degrees. There are 18km of sandy beaches which are ideal for families as the water is calm, shallow and warm throughout the year. Perfect for participating in the many water sports on offer. There are also mud baths in the thermal waters at Lo Pagan located at the north of the Mar Manor.
Walking is also very popular along the beach promenade, with plenty of cafes, tapas bars, palm trees and restaurants found along the beach front.
The towns around the Mar Menor are small, bustling, traditional and lively, and the people who live there are very friendly and inviting. A day trip to Murcia City, (about 15 minutes drive) to visit some of the stunning historical places of interest, art and culture is a must. Likewise a visit to the ancient seaport of Cartagena, (20 minute drive) to stroll along the harbour and see ancient ruins is a wonderful family day out. Other wonderful cities to visit are Lorca and Caravaca de la Cruz, which is the 5th Holiest City in the World.
The Mar Menor was ‘created’ a little over 1000 years ago. Originally a safe little bay, offering shelter for even large ships, it became a natural lagoon when sediments from the sea built up on a small underwater mountain range and closed off the inlet with a sandbar. On its Western side is mainland Spain, and on its Eastern side is La Manga de Mar Menor, a strip of land, (known as The Strip), that is no more than 900 metres at its broadest point with views of the Mar Menor and Mediterranean.
The climatic conditions of the Mar Menor, with a high number of hours of sun per year and its high salinity, have brought about the deposit, over the centuries, of clays for therapeutic treatment in various areas of the Mar Menor. The beaches are cleaned and combed every day, resulting in the awards of the E.U. Blue Flags for cleanliness and maintenance. In fact, the region was recently declared the cleanest area in Spain by the World Health Organisation. You can swim in the Mar Menor or minutes later swim in the Mediterranean. There are at least 315 days of sun per year with minimum temperatures ranging between 12-14C and maximum temperatures between 20-22C in winter. Summer temperatures vary between 18-20C minimum and between 30-35C maximum. The average annual temperature is 18C.
There is also a New Water Park (Terra Aqua Murcia) and Animal park (Terra Natura Murcia) just 20 minutes away.
The region is of course becoming more and more famous for its fabulous array of golf courses, and is now world renowned for its Jack Nicklaus Golf Trail, of which the Hacienda Riquelme Golf Resort plays an integral part.
