The Costa Calida/Murcia region
The Costa Calida is Spanish for warm coast with 3000 hours of sunshine per year. The average annual temperature is 17 degrees. The winter is very mild and sunny and the summer is very hot.
The beaches are fantastic, long sandy Mediterranean beaches, little rocky coves and the beaches on the Mar Menor are safe, the water is shallow, tranquil and warm, ideal for paddling and building sandcastles! The area is great for water sports - windsurfing, sailing, pedalos, water skiing, kite surfing, fishing, etc. There are many diving schools, wrecks to discover and colourful fish to see. Great snorkelling.
The area is very good for cycling and walking with many routes available for a day out.
Lots of new golf courses within 20 minutes drive. La Manga Club 7 minutes
For bird watchers at least 63 types of birds near the property. With unobstructed views from the balcony right across the protected Salinas de Marchemelo. A must for bird watchers!
La Manga Del Mar Menor / Playa Paraiso, La Manga Del Mar Menor area
The Mar Menor is a few minutes walk from the front of the house - a salt water lagoon beside the Mediterranean sea. There are numerous beaches with crystal clear shallow waters with a maximum depth of 7 metres. The biggest salt lake in Europe!
Playa Paraiso is a safe sandy beach with 3 beach bars open in the Summer. There are quite a few local restaurants within walking distance of the house and many more to visit in the local harbour at Cabo de Palos and the La Manga Strip.
Cartagena is a Roman City worth a visit and Murcia is a very cultural city.

Guestbook for Turquesa
August 2008 We have had a wonderful week but we wish we'd booked two. We are looking forward to coming back next year. The house is perfect many thanks to Chris and Beryl for providing everything anyone could possibly need. We have never rented more perfect accommodation. What we need now is some advice on what we should do with 564 photos of Flamingos? Dr Mike James and family Nic, Sam, Rebecca and Robbie.
August 2008 Thank you so much for all your help. George and I had a lovely time cycling around. Villa is lovely. Beaches are lovely. Shame we couldn't have stayed a bit longer. Love Janice and George.
August 2008 Thanks for all the films and the days out. I liked the villa lot and hope to come back. Thanks from George.
August 2008 I really enjoyed my two weeks holiday here in La Manga. We all loved the pool. Erin can nearly swim now! We hope to come back next year. Amy Aged 9 and Erin Aged 4.
August 2008 We all had a wonderful two week holiday here. The accommodation was excellent and the pool fantastic.h The children did not want to get out of it.

August 2008 Dear Chris and Beryl, Thank you very much for allowing us to stay in your excellent, well equipped house. We had a wonderful holiday and saw lots of the area. The view from the front bedroom across the salinas was great, we even got to see some pink flamingoes! The children loved the pool and it's location great secluded sheltered and safe. We've had a fantastic time and would certainly love to come back again in the future. We shall be recommending you to our friends and family! Many thanks once again. Marcus, Kathy, Rebecca, Joshua, Abigail and Gabrielle
July 2008 We had a great time at the house. Gave us the holiday we all needed. View from the front balcony is great especially watching the sun go down. The pool was lovely and the proximity of the house to the beach was ideal. Very calm and warm, ideal for Reece to play. Thanks for being so helpful with all the places to eat etc. Sardines at the beach were lovely. Phil, Mike, Sheila and Reece
