Murcia, the smallest region on the Spanish Mediterranean coastline hosts the Costa Calida, home of the Mar Menor, Europe’s largest salt water lagoon. On the spit that separates the lagoon from the Mediterranean the sands are wide and clean on an attractive and unspoilt coastline, perfect for summer beach holidays! With hotels, casinos, water sports and golf courses there is something for everyone. For years, Costa Calida has been a Spanish tourist area, quieter than the Costa Blanca to the north but now opening up with apartments and villas for self catering breaks and becoming more available for holidays due to low cost airlines flying into Alicante and Murcia airport. Visit Aguilas, with it's fishing harbour below the castle, it is a haven for diving in the crystal clear water and secluded bays and Torrevieja with it's large fishing harbour and marina also surrounded by beaches. Murcia city itself with its historic architecture around almost every corner and pedestrianised areas make it a stress free, enjoyable city to visit on you holidays.
