La Manga del Mar Menor
La Manga del Mar Menor is a peculiar geographical feature that dazzles at first sight. This narrow strip of land, which seems to stretch capriciously for 24 kilometres, acts as a natural barrier between the Mediterranean Sea and the Mar Menor, creating a unique coastal scenery in the Region of Murcia. Barely 300 metres wide at its narrowest point, La Manga is a prodigy of nature that combines marine and terrestrial landscapes in a single embrace. The area's exceptional microclimate makes living in La Manga a coveted year-round experience. Here, water sports are not just an activity, but a way of life, thanks to the calm and warm waters of the Mar Menor, known for their high concentration of salt and iodine, elements that provide beneficial health properties. The warmer waters of the Mar Menor offer a perfect refuge for those seeking relaxation and rejuvenation. But La Manga is more than a natural haven. It is an epicentre of activity, especially for sports enthusiasts. With four marinas and 11 sailing schools, the opportunities for windsurfing, catamaran sailing, scuba diving and other water sports are endless. But, for those who prefer to stay on land, sports such as paddle tennis, tennis, horse riding and skydiving are the most popular. Life in La Manga is, without a doubt, an ode to nature and movement.
