La manga Resorts

Hardly one kilometre from Islas Menores lies Los Nietos, a tiny fishing village always booked out in the summer. We arrive at Los urrutias after leaving Los Nietos either after a short drive or simply after a long walk along the beach. Again the same family atmosphere, common to all these resorts in the area.

Here are the headquarters of the Mar Menor Regatta Club.


Further along the Mar menor and right at the centre of its shoreline we arrive at the first major town, Los Alcazares. Reminiscences from its noble past may still be perceived in this tourist resort.

The two storey buildings along its promenade remind one of those summer days early this century when the people from the capital reached for the coast in search of the shelter provided by these warm brackish waters. And from that time, the Hotel de la Encarnación is still running.

We find Murcia San javier airport on our way from Los Alcazares to Santiago de la Ribera as well as the Infanta Cristina high Performance Centre where elite sportsmen come to achieve an optimum training for the big competitions.

The village of Los Narejos signals the township´s limits running into San Javier a town that also enjoys the presence of the coast thanks to its district of Santiago de la Ribera. Here the population increases in the summer by virtue of its hotels. You may also find here the headquarters of the Spanish Air Force Academy.

Lo pagan is our final destination along the shoreline of the Mar Menor. This is a holiday resort which has an offer of numerous villa estates to meet the large tourist demand in the summer.
