The Costa Calida/Murcia region
The Costa Calida is situated in the south-east of Spain. To the north lies the Costa Blanca and to the south lies the Costa de Almeria.
Translating as the "Warm Coast" Costa Calida forms the coastline of the Murcia region. Well known for its mild climate, it enjoys sunshine for in excess of 320 days per year, more than any other in region in Spain. The sun is at its hottest during the summer months, with temperatures rarely falling below 30°C (86°F). Winters are typically very mild with averages hovering around 18°C (64°F).
Due to the Costa Calida's micro climate the villa is ideal for a superb, relaxing holiday for couples and families in all seasons. Our villa is a golfer's haven too as there are many excellent golf courses within easy reach, including Alto Real (45 minutes drive), La Manga (approx. 1 hour), Fuente Alamo (which is 18 holes and at 6.5 kms long, is recognized as one of the best and more luxurious in the South East of Spain and just 25 minutes away approx.). However the nearest one is only 20 minutes away.
In the Sierrra Espuña national park it is possible to enjoy, hiking, fishing, bird watching, cycling, hang gliding, rock climbing or just sit outside one of the bars that are dotted about and enjoy the clean air and wonderful views.
Protected areas provide a wealth of animal life. For the hiker, there are fifteen categorized walks of varying lengths but there are numerous other routes you can take to discover wildlife, herbs and plants and admire spectacular views.
The region of Murcia is a major producer of fruits, vegetables, and flowers for Spain and the rest of Europe. It is mainly a warm region which has made it very suitable for agriculture. The old mining areas also provide interesting excursions with many of the original works and buildings still standing.
The Costa Calida/Murcia area is reputed to have one of the most pleasant climates in the world - according to the World Health Organisation. There are so many reasons for coming to this area and many people who come as holiday makers eventually return to live here.
The Murcia region is one of Spain's & Europe's best kept secrets. An unspoilt area with 250km of beaches along the shores of 2 seas: the Mediterranean and the Mar Menor.
Puerto De Mazarron / El Limonar, Puerto de Mazarron area
The Port of Puerto de Mazzarron has superb sandy beaches and secluded coves, the harbour and the marina are places not to be missed the paseo has been extended and now reaching down to El Alamilo, no better place for that evening stroll on warm summer nights. Here you will find various water sports facilities for the enthusiast holiday maker.
Mazarron itself is bathed in history and with numerous beautiful beaches and hidden coves, varied countryside, the friendly people and healthy diet make Mazarrón and the Costa Cálida paradise for holidays.
The weather in summer in Mazarron is typically very hot with little to no rainfall and temperatures up to 38c, but fortunately on most days there is a cooling sea breeze. Average winter temperatures are around 20c and the climate has been described by the World Health Organisation as one of being the best in the world, especially good for sufferers of arthritis.
The sea is usually around 5º warmer due to the unique 'micro climate' that Mazarrón enjoys. Windsurfing, sailing, diving, swimming, whatever your pleasure, Mazarron's coast provides it all.
The Port of Mazarron (a year round fishing port) with its new marina, shops, restaurants, cafes and bars is around a 20 minute walk. Many of the local restaurants offer freshly caught fish and in one in particular, you can choose your own, watch it being cooked and then it's served up for you to enjoy! Less than 5 minutes' drive, is the inland town of Mazarron with its ornate Town Hall, markets, shops and Medical centre.
The historic city of Cartagena, about 25 minute's drive away, with its naval port, military museum, huge new out-of-town shopping and eating mall Parque Mediterraneo (with masses of free parking and designer shops), and hypermarkets Eroski (complete with McDonald's!) and Carrefour, is full of history and architecture with lovely waterfront promenades, and excellent shopping facilities to suit all tastes and budgets. It has a large number of restaurants, many of which are traditional Spanish ones, but it also caters for a variety of diners . Further afield at Vera (approx. an hour and a quarter away) is the 'Parc Aquatico' (water park) for a great, fun-filled day out.
Going slightly further afield and inland, you can find places that have remained unchanged for years and are unspoilt by tourism. There are thermal baths at Mula and Roman remains in Lorca. There are also weekly markets in Puerto de Mazarron (Sundays), Mazarron Town (Saturdays) and Totana (Wednesdays). Buses, coaches and trains are also available to link up with towns and cities. There are numerous small villages, which one can find and explore, but Totana and Lorca are especially interesting, steeped in history (dating back to the Romans), local cuisines, shops and markets.

Guestbook for Detached Villa with sea views
Got back yesterday, had a great holiday, your villa is beautiful. If you wish to add to your information package, I would recommend a small bar which is near the new church, in the village the tapas at lunchtime are fresh and a bottle of beer is only one euro. We had a selection of four tapas with fresh bread and two beers all for 11euros. If you are setting up a comments page please let me know as I will gladly recommend the property and location. Regards, Frank
