The Costa Calida/Murcia region
La Manga is situated approximately 80 miles South of Alicante on the Costa Calida and is famous for the La Manga Strip. This unique peninsular divides the Mediterranean Sea from the natural lagoon known as The Mar Menor.
The Mar Menor is the largest natural lagoon in Europe and is very shallow. Due to this the sea is calmer and stays at an average temperature of 18 C throughout the year. The climate is very hospitable with 300 sunny days annually.
Inland from the strip is the world renowned La Manga Golf Club which is home to a 5 star hotel, casino, bars and restaurants alongside three championship golf courses. It also boasts a top Football Coaching Academy and is used for training purposes by many of the worlds best Football teams, including the England squad.
The two nearest large towns are Murcia, the area capital, and Cartagena a beautiful coastal city with fabulous shopping, Roman Ruins and many beautiful old buildings over the Port of Cartagena. The Port has an interesting boat trip that gives you a history of the local culture.
