The Costa Calida runs along two different seas, namely the Mar Menor and the Mediterranean. It has sparkling clear waters, luxuriously long and sandy beaches, and enchanting little bays. Mar Menor literally means “small sea” and is the largest natural swimming-pool in the world. All sorts of watersports are possible in this unique secluded inlet, which is also a diver’ paradise.

However, the Costa Calida offers much more than sun, sea and beaches. The important cities of Murcia and Cartagena guard an intriguing mix of archaeological treasures, modern architecture and fascinating artefact. This part of Spain is also known for its colourful fiestas and markets as well as one of the best regional cuisines.
