There are also very few locations in the world where this privilege is doubled by environmental and geographic aspects. La Manga is one of them. La Manga is located on the Costa Calida ("warm coast") in Murcia. This area of Spain has one of the healthiest climates in the world, with around 300 days of sunshine each year. In Spanish "La Manga" means "the sleeve", and from a distance it looks like an arm stretching out across the Mediterranean. La Manga is a strip of land 22 kilometres in length with sandy beaches that run along both sides. The strip has an average width of 300m and stretches from the fishing village of Cabo de Palos in the south to San Pedro in the north. The strip acts as a barrier between the Mediterranean on one side, and the Mar Menor on the other. The Mar Menor ("little sea" in Spanish) is Europe's largest salt-water lagoon with calm, warm waters. It's popular with people who enjoy watersports such as wind-surfing and kite-surfing. Scuba-diving is also a popular sport in La Manga and there's a range of diving schools catering for everyone, whether you're a beginner or a pro. One of the most popular dives is the dive around Isla Grosa, which takes you through the beautiful quartz caves. Near La Manga is the Calblanque Nature Reserve, a protected area since 1987 and a nature reserve since 1992, and one of the last untouched areas on the Mediterranean coast. Even today it remains a site of unrivalled natural beauty. The nearest cities to La Manga are Cartegena and Murcia. The closest towns are Los Belones, Cabo de Palos, Los Nietos and Mar de Cristal. AVERAGE TEMPERATURE SPRING 14-19 C (58-66 F) SUMMER 22-26 C (71-78 F) AUTUMN 16-23 C (60-74 F) WINTER 12-13 C (54-56 F) There is something for all age groups in the area and yet it is not a package holiday resort, catering mainly for Spanish holiday makers and visitors from continental Europe. The apartment is situated in a newly developing part of La Manga, overlooking the canal which leads to the Tomas Maestre Marina, having wonderful views of the Mediterranean and the many yachts and boats as they pass by.
