With 250km of coastline, the Costa Calida (Warm Coast) is one of Spain’s fastest growing holiday hotspots. Along with the Mar Menor, the coast of the Costa Cálida is home to water sports, fishing, scuba diving, sun bathing and nature reserves.
The Costa Calida covers the area from the top of the Mar Menor right along to Aguilas. It has in recent years been more popular due to the ease of access of cheap flights and improved road systems. Although the region was a late starter in the building stakes, it has benefited from the mistakes made in other areas and has ensured that there are plenty of green areas, and high rise buildings are only allowed on the La Manga strip and then only to a height of 9 storeys |
