Mar Menor

Few regions have the fortune of having a salt water lake near the Mediterranean Sea. This endearing Sea, historically known, visited and populated called MAR MENOR.
In its coastal perimeter, it has 73 kilometers of coastline, in which you can enjoy beaches of transparent and shallow waters (the maximum depth is not more than 7 meters), and 170 km2 of area, what makes the Mar Menor in the salt lake, the largest in Europe.

South of this small sea rise the islets of Perdiguera, Mayor, Redonda, Ciervo, and Sujeto, bringing us reminiscences of their volcanic origin.

 

 

 

La Manga

Our apartments are located at a short distance from La Manga.

La Manga del Mar Menor (in Murcia, Spain) is a strip of land 24 km long, which was structured from Cabo de Palos to the north. Its formation was due to the sedimentation of sand that provided the dominant currents in the area. West of this tongue of land is the Mar Menor, which is like a large salt water lake, with a small opening. To the east is the Mediterranean Sea. Both seas are connected by channels, called “golas”, through which the water flows between the two.
