The Costa Calida region
Murcia is one of Spain's least known regions and is very diverse. Less developed than the other Spanish regions, Murcia offers eye catching scenery, attractive mountain villages, a beautiful coastline (Costa Calida) and many places of interest to visit. The region boasts over 320 days of sunshine a year with hot summers and warm winters and is commended by the World Health Organisation for its climate/environment.
The apartment is ideally situated for all local amenities. It is just a short stroll to the beaches and water sports of the Mar Menor or to the restaurants and bars of the towns of Santiago de la Ribera and San Javier. Just a few minutes away is the 'Dos Mares' shopping centre which contains a wide range of shops, family friendly restaurants, cinema, an arcade and bowling alley. There is also a new shopping development at La Zenia that is only a short drive along the AP-7.
The nearby resort of Las Alcazares has excellent beaches and a pedestrianized area that has a wide variety of bars and restaurants to suit all tastes. On the way to L.A. there is a go-karting track and a drive-in cinema. Also near to the apartment is the resort of Lo Pagan which boasts the region's well known mud baths along with a fun fair, marina and more beaches.
Santiago has a ferry point that sees boats leave for the famous La Manga strip or to the islands in the Mar Menor. The trips are inexpensive and regular and well worth making.
The major cities of Cartagena and Murcia are also easily reachable by car or bus. Murcia city contains the nearest water park (another can found up the coast at Torrevieja) and claims Europe's largest shopping mall. Cartagena, is steeped in history (Phoenician, Roman & Byzantine) and has a harbour area that is visited by many tourists and passing cruise ships each year.
There are many golf courses in the area, the nearest being Roda which is 15 minutes away by car.
The San Javier Mar Menor / Santiago de la Ribera area
Santiago de la Ribera evolved from a fishing village into a very popular holiday destination. Although it has a modern feel, with an attractive promenade flanked by palm trees, Santiago has not lost any of its original Spanish charm. Situated on the north shore of the Mar Menor the resort has many fine bars, cafes and seafood restaurants to visit. There is a local street market on Wednesday, a bright and cheerful shopping centre (Dos Mares) and it also has its share of festivals and fiestas. The town is handily placed for a number of golf courses and water sports activities. Adjacent to the nearby airport there is a Go-Karting track and down at the beach a ferry point from which boat trips can be taken to La Manga and the islands of the Mar Menor.

Reviews

We have stayed in this apartment three times now, in May, June and September. The weather was above 22 degrees all the time. The pool was good for adults and children and there is plenty of room for sunbathing. The apartment is in a quiet gated community. We hired a car which we used to shop...love Dos Maris shopping mall which is 5 minutes drive away. We enjoyed driving to the beaches on the Mediterranean and on the Mar Menor. There are lots of great restaurants in Santiago de la Ribera and in nearby Los Alcazares where this is a family friendly atmosphere. Days out to Carthagena and the city of Murcia are within driving distance and well worth the effort. There is free bike hire arranged through Tourist Information in Santiago de la Ribera. The staff there were excellent |
