The region of Murcia is located at the South-East corner of the Iberian Peninsula, between the regions of Andalusia, Castile-La Mancha and Valencia, and occupies an area of 11,317 km2 (2.2% of the total surface area of Spain), bordering the province of Albacete in the North, the province of Alicante in the East, the provinces of Granada, Albacete and Almería in the West, and the Mediterranean in the South-East.
The region of Murcia has the typical Mediterranean semi-arid subtropical climate with more than 3,000 hours of sun a year and mild temperatures - even in winter. The hot summer temperatures reach 40ºC and mild winters have an average temperature of 11ºC in the months of December and January
Murcia has just over 170 km of coastline, including 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. With two seas offering on the one hand unprotected shores with impressive craggy cliffs and wild seas and on the other small coves, heavenly beaches of endless white sand, calm, crystal clear placid waters, salt-water lagoons and mud-flats, the Costa Calida is the ideal place to spend some days relaxing both in winter and summer.
Furthermore, fans of water sports will find one of the best places in the world for sailing, swimming, water-skiing, windsurfing, and every other type of watersport activity in its numerous clubs, ports and sailing schools. The Nautical Resort on the Mar Menor and similar consortiums in Mazarron and Aguilas offer the chance to hire out equipment, book sailing courses and reserve accommodation at extremely interesting rates.
The interior of the Murcia Region is ideal for those in search of relaxation, and quiet, sleepy towns open their doors to visitors seeking the experience of traditional lifestyles, the serenity of the natural beauty of the area and temptations of the local robust cuisine accompanied by a fine bottle of locally produced wine
And for the energetic, the mountains here are full of wild game and woodland, and there are many historical castles, fortresses, hermitages, archaeological sites and convents to visit. Stories and ancient legends enshroud these evocative, welcoming parts, inviting you to enjoy a few days in the fresh country air and experience a feeling of being with nature.
