Murcia has some of the best Mediterranean beaches there are. In fact the Region is doubly blessed, as it has two seas, with the Mar Menor.
Europe's largest salt water lagoon plays host to a myriad of sea life, including flocks of flamingos. Its calm, warm waters provide an ideal opportunity to take part in many water sports.
You might even discover its history. The Romans and pirates were here as well. Make sure you don't get left out.
Tap into unspoilt areas of coast - some are even nature reserves. Its the way Spain used to be. Why settle for a crowded strip of sand when there is some real beauty on offer.
The warm calm shallows of the Mar Menor are ideal for children to splash around in. Year round they are warmer than the Med, indeed they are a favourite with the Spanish themselves.
Its any easy choice to make - so come test the waters of Murcia.
