The Costa Calida region

Costa Calida means 'warm coast ' and with the region having an average of 320 days of sunshine each year the mild climate is a major attraction. The city of Murcia, 30 minutes by car, is steeped in history and has many squares and narrow streets of shops and is an intriguing place to visit. It also has a more modern aspect in that it is home to a fantastic Harley Davidson dealership!
The Roman city of Cartagena is a magnificent port which hosts many fiestas and is also steeped in history. It has a lovely shopping centre and a new large retail park on the outskirts.
The Calblanque Nature Reserve is situated on the Mediterranean coast and has superb golden beaches. Cabo de Palos is on the southern tip of La Manga and is famous for its fishing harbour and fish restaurants. Scuba diving trips can be taken here.

Torrevieja is another attrractive city only twenty minutes away with lovely squares and a port which has recently been enlarged and modernised.

The Los Alcazares / Albatros area

Los Alcazares (pronounced los- alkatha-rez), is situated on the western shore of the Mar Menor, a shallow salt-water lagoon separated from the Mediterranean by a 22km strip of land known as La Manga.

The Mar Menor is renowned for its health giving mineral-rich waters, which being warm and shallow are perfect for bathers and water sport enthusiasts. It has 7 km of wonderful palm-tree lined promenades with several blue flag sandy beaches and many tapas bars along the beach fronts giving it a real Spanish flavour. A ferry will take you on a half hour cruise across the Mar Menor to the La Manga strip.

The old town is typically Spanish, reflecting its previous existence as a fishing village, while the new Baliniero square, only five minutes walk from the apartment, has a modern supermarket, shops, hairdressers, a bicycle hire shop and many eating places.

There are 9 golf courses within a 15 minute drive and the new Roda Golf 18 hole course is only two minutes drive away over the motorway as is the new Municipal golf course. There are championship courses at La Manga, about 20 minutes drive away.

The area is very level making it ideal for walking and cycling. It is only 2km away from the motorway giving easy access to all the Murcia region, including La Manga, the Calblanque Nature reserve and the green hilly region around the city of Murcia.

Tuesdays and Saturdays are markets days in Los Alcazares where many bargains are to be found and fresh produce from the fertile local countryside.

“Lovely apartment, excellent location” We had a lovely holiday thanks to Pam for letting us stay in her apartment. The apartment was lovely and clean and very well equipped. Excellent for the light traveller travelling by economy flight. The apartment has a beautiful view from the balcony, overlooking fields and mountains. A lovely way to spend and hour enjoying a glass of wine before going to dinner. There are many restaurants within walking distance from the apartment, very well located. It is also very near the beach (10 minutes walk). Also, supermarket is close by.

“A fabulous & comfortable apartment with lots of home comforts to make for a relaxing stay” We had a very happy stay in the apartment in July/August 2011. Booking was very easy and the information sent through by Pam before our holiday was informative & useful and she was helpful in organising transfers to and from the airport. We were met on arrival by Stuart who showed us to the apartment and explained all we needed to know. We found the apartment extremely clean on arrival and the air conditioning was very welcome on the hot days/nights. The extra things available such as beach towels & toys, parasols & DVD's came in very handy. The communal pool was great and really clean and the apartment was well positioned being about a 10 minute easy walk to the town centre restaurants, bars and supermarket and about 15 minutes to the beach. All in all a great apartment and we had a fantastic family holiday.

February 2010. We had agreat time in your apartment - so welcoming! We came to see the Fiesta in Agilas and it was a true Mardi Gras - almost as good as Rio! Over five hours of parades and the costumes were fantastic!
it was lovely to crawl into the comfy beds when we finally got back that night ( or early morning!)

Here we are again! This is our third visit to your apartment and it always feels just like home from home! We had another lovely relaxed fortnight with everything we need within walking distance. Having Stuart as keyholder on hand on the complex is very re-assuring. Not that we have ever had any problems but it is nice to know he is there if we need him.
See you again next year!

Thanks Pam for letting us have your apartment! It is great for families - everything we needed was here. The apartment is so very well equipped and the pools were lovely even though a bit busy. Our children had a great time and the complex feels so safe for them. Would recommend the water park at Torrievieja for children from 7+. what a fantastic day we had there! Need a car to get there though!

Thanks for getting us a cot and high chair for our little ones. It all worked out really well, Stuart set up the equipment and we left knowing he would get it back to the hire company, so we had no hassle at all. Katrina, our two year old played in the little pool and loved the beach. it was sp easy to get to the beach with a toddler and a pushchair as it is all so level. We had a lovely two weeks relaxation.

Weather still so hot! What a superb location you have for your lovely apartment. We hired a car but really did not need one at all. Still it gave us chance to visit Murcia- a beautiful drive through lots of hills and valleys - and a city well worth visiting. We also loved Cartegena so much to see with the Roman heritage and the port and the shopping!

Our weather not so good this week with lots of wind and rain, so the comfy apartment was a boon. Think we have watched most of your DVD's Good to have English tele too! We came for the Fiesta at Agilas - Mardi Gras. This was absolutely fantastic - the costumes were out of this world. Despite the rain at the beginning it was definitely worth the effort. Went with Rosatours coaches - excellent value and care. Hope to come again for this.
Chris & Tom
