Costa
Calida Murcia Spain
The Costa Calida is situated in the south-east of the Iberian
Peninsula. To the north lies the Costa Blanca and to the south lies
the Costa de Almeria with a total of 250 kilometers of coastline.
Blessed by the mild Mediterranean climate it has at least 315 days of
sun per year. Minimum temperatures range between 12-14C and maximum
temperatures between 20-22C in winter. Summer temperatures vary
between 18-20C minimum and between 30-35Cmaximum. The average annual
temperature is 18C.
The people are gentle and helpful, the whole region is well worth
taking the time to explore and the good living is to be enjoyed.
The seawater is warm and very pleasant for bathing. It is unique in
that there is a peninsula which runs parallel to the coastline thus
forming the Mar Menor (small sea).
The Mar Menor, Europes largest salt water lagoon, over 170 square
kilometres of shallow water surrounded by the districts of San Pedro
del Pinatar, San Javier, Santiago de la Ribera, Los Alcazares and La
Manga to name just a few. Cartagena is worth a special mention because
of its historical interest. This town was for more than two thousand
years a strategic Mediterranean port, surrounded by fortifications it
encloses numerous fine archaeological remains.
