What is there to do?

The Mar Menor (Lesser Sea) is a very still lake, or lagoon, to be more exact, as it is open to the Med at the end of La Manga strip, a sandy isthumis extending from a lovely fishing village named Cabo de Balos, where some excellent fayre is available, freshly caught from the Mar Menor and nearby Med.

La Manga strip is 10km long and hosts many holiday apartments and restaurants. The strip is full of spas, as the waters of the Mar Menor have recuperative properties, their rich mineral content working magic on tired bones, arthritis and rheumatism. A cleansing volcanic clay is found on the lake’s shores and at the northern end, the San Pedro del Pinatar salt works nature reserve is full of migrating flamingos.

Prior to entering the strip itself, the famous La Manga Club is located on the right of the expressway. This change of golf venue is just 30 minutes drive from Mosa Trajectum.

Inland, the Sierra Espuna natural park is 40 minutes’ drive south-west from Murcia. Walkers and climbers enjoy hundreds of square miles of pine-clad highlands and limestone canyons. Look out for the domed, 16th-century snow wells at the northern end. The wells compressed winter snow and ice, supplying the parched towns with water in the summer months.


Day Trips

The Costa Calida is an arid area of the country, boasting minimal rain fall. However, there are many places to visit and enjoy during your stay. Murcia City is just 15 minutes away, and Cartagena is just 25 minutes south. Both provide an excellent day out for both sight seeing and shopping. The closest beach is 15 minutes away at Santiago de la Ribera. Others are up and down the Mar Menor from there, with Los Alcazeras area hosting a few others that are popular.

Murcia has very large department stores as well as smaller boutiques and restaurants to enjoy. There are many squares and piazzas to explore, including the piazza at the English Cathedral which hosts the best chocolate shop you could dream of finding. Warm doughnut strips to dip in hot, melted chocolate. Wonderful.

Cartagena is the Spanish naval town, a bit like Portsmouth in the UK. There is also an array of shops and restaurants to try, with some excellent fish orientated bistros near the harbour. Nightlife

Night Life
Murcia and the Costa Blanca have some very lively nightlife with most places staying open until the early hours of the morning. There are always many bars offering live music and some of the larger hotels put on after dinner dancing. Murcia has plenty of good nightclubs which tend to really kick off after about 12 midnight and continue on till when-ever they feel like. There are some unique Nightclubs, shows, Casinos and Bars & Restaurants around the Costa Blanca, here are some of the interesting ones:

Murcia Palace
Enjoy a night out at the world famous Murcia Palace for a spectacular show and dinner!
A fabulous four course meal with smoked salmon, prawns and fillet steak washed down with fine rioja wines is accompanied by one of the greatest shows on earth.

Desafio Medieval
For a 'slightly' tacky but highly enjoyable night out, you should try Desafio Medieval, set in an old castle near Alfaz they serve up a medieval banquet whilst you enjoy the spectacular fighting and jousting.

Casinos
There are a few ligitamate gambling casinos in the Costa Blanca which can offer blackjack tables, roulette, chemin de fer and slot machines. Remember to take your passport, you need to be above the age of 18 to get into any of them. Dress code is fairly relaxed but to avoid any trouble make sure you wear at least 'smart casual' clothes. None will let you in if you are wearing shorts and a t-shirt!
