Area of the Costa Calida

Costa Calida 'the warm coast'
The 250 kilometre long Costa Calida is situated in the southeast of Spain, between the Costa Blanca and the Costa de Almeria. The Costa Calida is situated entirely in the province of Murcia and begins in the north, on the border with the province of Alicante, with the white dunes of El Mojón in San Pedro del Pinatar. The Costa ends in the south to the lively town of Aguilas, bordering the province of Almeria, the most northern part of the autonomous community of Andalusia. The capital of this province is the city of Murcia.

Costa Calida
The Costa Calida offers you the typical Spanish atmosphere, where many other Costas are much more influenced by international tourism. The Costa Calida is synonymous with versatility. You can find a variety of water sports in the Mar Menor, "small sea", the largest natural world bath of the Mediterranean, with its characteristic wide sandy beaches and intimate, small rocky coves. But you can also go hiking through the many beautiful parks in the hilly interior of Murcia, with its wooded valleys. Impressive is the Revolcadores mountains in Caravaca de la Cruz, which is 2027 metres high. Other mountains which are worth to be explored are the Sierra de Espuña, Sierra del Carche, Sierra de la Pila and Ricote Mountains. The surroundings of the place Yecla is one of the major wine regions of Spain. What you should not miss the numerous fiestas full of color, light, music and tradition, such as the folkloric events, the carnival, the flamenco festivals and the traditional Easter celebrations during Semana Santa, with its solemn processions. Within the limits of the Costa Calida really everything is possible!
