Murcia in Spain and the Mar Menor

Mar Menor Beach

Murcia is one of the regions with the greatest yearly number of sunny days, an average temperature of 21 degrees, and 250 km of shoreline over two seas: the Minor and the Mediterranean. Its environment is noted for being a land of contrasts, with high mountain natural parks, southern basins with steppe landscapes, and wonderful beaches such as those of La Manga, Mazarron and Calblanque.

Murcia's coastline is rich and diverse, with strips of rough waters and coves with placid and serene beaches. Dunes, salt flats, wetlands... The Murcia Region coastline contains a considerable number of areas of unquestionable environmental interest, with many of them being Natural Protected Areas. Places where you can still find native flora and fauna species such as the Phoenician juniper (Sabina mora), a native tree variety, and the "fartet" (Aphanius iberus), a minute and highly unusual fish, the only one of its kind.

Murcia City

The diversity of landscapes, a privileged climate and its cultural and historical richness make Murcia the perfect region to live in and enjoy the outdoors, practice water sports in the Minor Sea, explore its mountains, go hiking, rural tourism... and, of course, play golf.

The Murcia Region is located right in the middle of the Mediterranean arch, between Valencia, Andalusia, and Castilla-La Mancha. It covers an area of 11,317 km2, ranking 9th in size among Spain's Autonomous Regions.

Murcia, the capital, is open and dynamic, with excellent access to all other cities on Spain's east coast, and highly interesting commercial activity. Its climate and the good-natured character of its people make it a cosy city, a virtue reflected in the constantly busy streets and plazas of its old quarters, where residents and visitors chat, take walks, savour delicious "tapas", or embark on one of its many cultural routes.
