We chose the area because it is peaceful & relaxing but also plenty of restuarants, a shopping centre within a 15 minute drive away to suit the teenagers. It is very easy to get to with Murcia airport only 15 minutes away or Alicante 50 minutes away.
The Mar Menor is great for swimming and safe. The warm water is such a treat from May through to October. The resort pool and hotel pool are nice to go to go for socialising and it's good to be able to get a drink there or have lunch there for a change.
The unspoilt beaches are beautiful for walking in the winter and lively but not overcrowded in the summer.
We enjoy a different kind of holiday each time we go and do different things depending on the season. During the summer it's swimming and BBQs, in the winter it's walking and cycling.
