Costa Calida

The coast line of the Costa Cálida situated in the province of Murcia and is approximately 155 miles in length. This coast begins in the North with the beach of El Mojón, beside the border of the province of Alicante and ends in the South with the beach of La Carolina in Águilas, towards the border of Almería. The Costa Cálida adjoins two different seas, the Mar Menor or (small sea) and the Mediterranean.

The Mar Menor, Europe's largest salt water lagoon, over 170 square kilometres of shallow water surrounded by the districts of Los Urrutias, El Carmolí, San Javier, Los Alcazares and La Manga to name just a few. On the shores of the Mar Menor there are a great number of small towns with a truly traditional feel to them that are starting to build small intimate residential areas for people who look for a different way to spend time in the Sun in Spain.

Just a few minutes inland from the Mar Menor and the Mediterranean, within the locality of Cartajena, we find the Polaris World and many of the Golf Invest projects we feature on this site. These projects complement the sea-side resort locations perfectly. The airport at San Javier is just to the south of the Mar Menor and therefore is convenient for all locations, including the famous La Manga strip.

Costa Blanca

The Costa Blanca stretches from Valencia to Cartagena. To the north of Alicante, the region is a popular tourist region with Benidorm being the best known beach resort. Other resorts and towns are popular with the British both for holidays and indeed residence .... Calpe....Altea....Denia....Javea.....Santa Pola...Torrevieja....Villamartin ..and others offer a fantastic range of property for all tastes and budgets, and all with services and facilities, and easy airport access readily available.

On the Costa you will find beaches which the Spanish themselves visit, and where there is an authentic, unspoilt atmosphere, the most popular of them being Campoamor, Torre de la Horadada and El Mojón, which is situated adjacent to the Mar Menor.

On its beaches, coves and yacht clubs - such as those in Cabo Roig or Dehesa de Campoamor - you can practice all kinds of water sports all year round, thanks to the privileged weather of the area with an average temperature of 20 degrees Centigrade and more than 300 sunny days. The Costa Blanca is considered to have one of the healthiest climates in Europe.

You can also horse-ride in Campoamor Riding Club, or play tennis or pelota in any of the sports centres available in the residential areas. Finally the Costa Blanca is famous for offering a superb choice of Golf Resorts ..... see the button below for more information!
