The Costa Blanca / Valencia / Alicante Province region
On the south east coast of mainland Spain, the Costa Blanca is renowned for sandy white beaches and warm climate. Boasting over 320 days of sunshine a year, even in December the temperature rarely falls below 17 degrees. July, August & September temperatures average 30-32 degrees.
Steeped in history and with some beautiful scenery, sweet fragranced orange groves and glistening waters, this picturesque province has something to suit all tastes and ages.
Rio Mar Torre de la Horadada / Rio Mar area
This is a traditional Spanish area with unspoilt blue flag sandy beaches and coves to explore. The nature park, salt lakes and nature reserve at San Pedro del Pinatar and fishing villages of San Pedro and El Pilar are nearby. The cultural towns of Murcia, Cartagena and Torrevieja are ideal for tourist attractions, shopping and restaurants.
Just a short drive south of Riomar is the Mar Menor where the sea is shallow and 5 degrees warmer than the Med, being ideal for children. The mineral rich waters of the Mar Menor have a saline content of 50% and are scientifically recognised as being therapeutic in the treatment of rheumatism, arthritis and many other ailments. The mud is also believed by many to contain natural healing properties, particularly for skin complaints and many visitors and locals can be found having a mudbath to treat their ailments.
San Pedro del Pinatar is one of the main tourist destinations along this stretch of coast and the beach area of Lo Pagan offers many sea front bars and restaurants. The town has a marina that provides fishing, scuba diving and sailing opportunities. San Pedro also boasts the Salt Works Nature Reserve, which is a unique Mediterranean coastal area. This is a great area for walking and bird watching as flamingos and other migratory birds nest here every year and use the reserve as a stopping place in their migrations between Europe and Africa. Nearby Torrevieja has great shopping and the old cities of Murcia and Cartagena are well worth a visit for their wonderful architecture, particularly Murcia with its University and Baroque cathedral.
There are many sports facilities available in the area, including seven internationally acclaimed golf courses within easy reach. Green fees tend to cost around thirty pounds and we recommend booking early to avoid disappointment. Within a 15 minute drive you have 3 Golf courses: Villamartin, which has an abundance of olive trees and well placed bunkers to make it a challenging course for players of all abilities. Las Ramblas, which is a stunning, but short course and is most challenging. High trees, natural fairways and ravines feature strongly in this memorable course. Campoamor, which is situated in two valleys with magnificent views and with a beautiful clubhouse to finish off the day. Campoamor requires a 36 or less handicap.
No need to bring your clubs as you can hire them at the courses. You can also hire electric buggies. The courses all have eighteen holes, putting and chipping greens and practice areas. There are also cafeteria’s/ restaurants where you can unwind with something to eat and drink after your round. Are all within easy reach (10 min drive). For the hard to please a 30 minute drive further south will bring you to La Manga the world famous golf resort, with three eighteen hole courses to choose from. What more can the enthusiastic golfer ask for!
Please note that most have a strict dress code and require a handicap card to play.
