Costa Calida for enjoyment
Costa Calida is most famous for the La Manga country club
and the Mar Menor which is Europes biggest inland salt lake. There
are a large number of developments in this beautifull area. This is but
a small part of this region. |

The Costa Calida is situated in the South-East
of the Iberian Peninsula. To the north lies the Costa Blanca and to the
south the Costa Almeria. There are over 250 kilometres of coastline made
up of small inlets, coves and sandy beaches. The waters are wonderfully
unpolluted and perfect for sub aqua activities with clear views of the
Mediterranean flora and fauna such as sea bass, moray and moonfish. 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 Costa Calida
is one of the healthiest places on earth to be. The area is sheltered
against Meseta winds making the temperature pleasant throughout the whole
year. Access is easy as the area is just over an hours drive from Alicante
and is also close to Murcia Airport. Unspotted by the holiday mass this
area is still in the early days of development. |
A natural delight:
It is therefore not overcome with bars and restaurants though these
can be found in Puerto de Mazzarron and around the golf courses. The scenic
routes across the Algarrobo range are delightful; there are rabbits, partridges
and foxes roaming and it provides a natural habitat for kestrels and species
of wild eagle. The mountain areas are abundant with wild thyme, rosemary and lavender,
which can be found complimenting many local dishes. Mazarron is famous
for its plethora of wonderful seafood dishes; mouth watering local dishes
include bonito fish and noodles, peppers, garlic, sauté tomatoes
and aniseed. |
