La Manga Salt Lakes

The La Manga Strip has a unique position in Europe, between two Seas, the Mediterranean Sea and the crystal clear waters of the Mar Menor.

This part of Spain is famous for its salt lakes (salt is a major export). This has a major knock on effect on humidity levels, and as a result the air is much dryer than in other parts of Spain & Europe. The low humidity levels coupled with a mild climate, means the WHO (World Health Organisation) have rated this part of Spain one of the healthiest climates on the planet.

The Mar Menor is an immense lake of warm, tranquil salt water, rich in salts and iodine and noted for its therapeutic properties. The waters are a magnificent natural swimming pool with temperatures maintained by a sun that shines for an average of 320 days each year. The maximum depth of 6.5m makes it an ideal location to enjoy the many water sports available.


La Manga Del Mar Menor  Los Miradores del Puerto area:

The two distinct seas, soft breezes, sunny days and significant sporting infrastructures makes La Manga a water sports paradise. No one need travel far to practice the water sport of their choosing; sailing, diving, water skiing, kite surfing, windsurfing, jet skiing and most other nautical sports.

Apart from the water sports, La Manga offers a great variety of other activities to suit all tastes such as hang-gliding, horse riding, fishing, walking and bird watching at the nearby nature reserves.

La Manga Golf



The world famous La Manga Club is situated here, with many quality golf courses close by including DeVere Roda Golf, La Serena and Hacienda del Alamo. There are tennis clubs with courts open to the public all year round, plus paddle tennis and squash. In addition there is a roller-skating rink and full size go-kart track. The road which runs through La Manga has been built with a cycle-lane and there is an absence of hills throughout the strip. You can hire cycles which will be delivered directly to the apartment. Blue flag beaches and boat trips also make this a favourite place for all the family. There are boat trips from the marina to local islands in both the Med and the Mar Menor. One of the boats (which sails past the apartment) has a glass bottom to view the marine life.

The historic towns of Cartagena (30 mins away) and Murcia (60 mins drive) are well worth visiting for the shopping, Roman monuments and sightseeing. Cartagena is full of interesting architecture, has many museums, and has an historic marina with tourist trips around the harbour. The shopping in the historic center is great, and Cartagena also has an upmarket Corte Ingles department store.

There are towns nearby for sightseeing and shopping including Los Belones and Santiago de la Ribera. You can take the foot ferry from the marina to Santiago de la Ribera, the Spanish version of the Red Arrows practices here.

Further afield you can take a scenic tour through the local mountains or visit the flamingos at the San Pedro salt lakes.
You don't need a car to enjoy a holiday here since buses run up and down the strip all day and there are bus services to the local towns such as Los Belones and Cartagena.

Relax and enjoy - in La Manga you can rest, practice sport and also get to know the local history, or participate in the traditional fiestas of the area, the choice is yours.

 

There are few places in the world where nature has provided the necessary conditions to convert them into virtual paradises. There are also very few locations in the world where this privilege is doubled by environmental and geographic aspects. La Manga is one of them.

La Manga is located on the Costa Calida ("warm coast") in Murcia. This area of Spain has one of the healthiest climates in the world, with around 300 days of sunshine each year.

In Spanish "La Manga" means "the sleeve", and from a distance it looks like an arm stretching out across the Mediterranean. La Manga is a strip of land 22 kilometres in length with sandy beaches that run along both sides. The strip has an average width of 300m and stretches from the fishing village of Cabo de Palos in the south to San Pedro in the north. The strip acts as a barrier between the Mediterranean on one side, and the Mar Menor on the other.

The Mar Menor ("little sea" in Spanish) is Europes largest salt-water lagoon with calm, warm waters. Its popular with people who enjoy watersports such as wind-surfing and kite-surfing. Scuba-diving is also a popular sport in La Manga and theres a range of diving schools catering for everyone, whether youre a beginner or a pro. One of the most popular dives is the dive around Isla Grosa, which takes you through the beautiful quartz caves.

Near La Manga is the Calblanque Nature Reserve, a protected area since 1987 and a nature reserve since 1992, and one of the last untouched areas on the Mediterranean coast. Even today it remains a site of unrivalled natural beauty.

The nearest cities to La Manga are Cartegena and Murcia. The closest towns are Los Belones, Cabo de Palos, Los Nietos and Mar de Cristal.

AVERAGE TEMPERATURE
SPRING 14-19 C (58-66 F)
SUMMER 22-26 C (71-78 F)
AUTUMN 16-23 C (60-74 F)
WINTER 12-13 C (54-56 F)

There is something for all age groups in the area and yet it is not a package holiday resort, catering mainly for Spanish holiday makers and visitors from continental Europe.
