Costa
Cálida
The coast
line of the Costa Cálida situated in the province of Murcia
and is approximately 155 miles in length. This coast begins in the North with
the beach of El
Mojón, beside the border of the province
of Alicante and ends in the South
with the beach
of La Carolina in
Águilas, towards the border of Almería.
The Costa Cálida adjoins two different seas, the Mar Menor or (small sea) and
the Mediterranean. The Mar Menor, Europe's
largest salt water lagoon, over 170 square kilometres of shallow water
surrounded by the districts of Los Urrutias, El Carmolí, San Javier, Los Alcazares
and La Manga to name just a few. On the shores of the Mar Menor there are a
great number of small towns with a truly traditional feel to them that are
starting to build small intimate residential areas for people who look for a
different way to spend time in the Sun in Spain.
Just a few
minutes inland from the Mar Menor and the Mediterranean,
within the locality of Cartajena, we find the Polaris World and many of the
Golf Invest projects we feature on this site. These projects complement the
sea-side resort locations perfectly. The airport at San Javier is just to the
south of the Mar Menor and therefore is convenient for all locations,
including the famous La Manga strip.

Costa Almeria
Costa
Almeria is known
to the Spanish as the 'Corner of Enchantment'. Located in the south east tip
of Spain
and benefiting from a year round annual average temperature of 19
degrees,
and the most sunny days per year than anywhere else in Spain Almeria has the
ideal climate for a living or holiday property purchase.
Enchanting,
varied and certainly very beautiful Almeria
presents a wide choice of 'type' of location and a vast range of property to
intending purchasers. The coastal resorts of Mojacar, Almerimar, Roquetas and
Vera are the established resorts and quite different from each other.
Emerging resorts like San Juan
will delight you.

Murcia
From the geographical point of view, the region of Murcia stands
out because of its multiple contrasts: dry vs. irrigated land, plains
vs. mountainous areas, coastline vs. interior, vineyards vs. mesetas, factors
which can no doubt be attributed to its location in a transitional area
between the Sub-Baetic mountain range and the northern Sub-Meseta.
Morphologically, the relief of the territory
of Murcia falls within
the influence of the Baetic cordilleras and shows an alternation between
mountainous tracts, valleys and depressions, leading to extreme contrasts of
altitude over short distances. Of the total surface area, the majority
(approx. 45%) is situated between the altitudes of 200 - 600 metres; 23% is
less than 200 metres above sea level, and the remaining 32% lies at altitudes
of over 600 metres.
Murcia has just over 170 km of coastline: coves and small beaches
alternate with rocky shores and sheer, craggy cliffs. As a geographical
accident of nature we find La Manga, a coastal strip of land which, bar a few
connecting channels, or narrows, completely closes off the Mar Menor lagoon
from the Mediterranean. The Murcian littoral
offers on the one hand unprotected shores with wild seas and on the
other small coves with calm, placid waters. Sand-dunes, beaches,
salt-water lagoons, mud-flats... the Murcia coastline includes
numerous places of unquestionable interest to the naturalist. Not
surprisingly many of these have been declared Protected Natural Areas, spots
where even in our times you can find autoctonous species of flora and
fauna, such as the Sabina mora, an autoctonous tree variety, or the
fartet, a tiny, unique species of fish.
