Mar Menor
The Mar Menor (little sea) is the inland sea separated from the Mediterranean by La Manga (the sleeve) del Mar Menor, or what is better known as the La Manga strip. The north end of the Mar Menor is about 30 minutes drive from Torrevieja.
Both sides of the La Manga strip have something to offer. The Mediterranean side with its magnificent sandy beaches and the Mar Menor with its warm, shallow waters that are ideal for children. During the summer months there are various water sports available at many different locations along the strip including windsurfing, water-skiing, jet skiing, sailing & pedalos. Also nearby is the world famous La Manga Club resort where you can indulge in a multitude of sporting activities, the most popular being golf, followed by tennis.
Nightlife is prevalent in parts of the strip with a good collection of restaurants, bars & even casinos. Large hotels and apartment complexes offer a variety of evening entertainment, mainly during the summer season.
Los Alcazares is situated in the Murcia region of South Eastern Spain, also known as the Costa Calida. The town sits on the western shore of the Mar Menor, a salt-water lagoon separated from the open sea by a 22 kilometre long strip of land called La Manga. The area enjoys an average of 320 days sunshine per annum. The warm & shallow water of the Mar Menor provides a paradise for sun worshippers & water sports enthusiasts (mainly windsurfing). The mineral rich waters of the Mar Menor are renowned for their health-giving properties & the town still has thermal baths, which have existed since Roman times.
