COSTA CÁLIDA
A warm welcome from the Costa Cálida. Situated in the south-east of the Iberian Peninsula, to the north lies the Costa Blanca and to the south lies the Costa Alméria with a total of 250 kilometres of coastline. Blessed by the mild Mediterranean climate it has at least 315 days of sunshine per year with temperatures ranging from 12-220c in winter and between 18-350c in the summer. The average annual temperature is 180c.
The Costa Cálida is one of the least known costas but probably has the best climate of them all. It's possible to find lovely quiet beaches as the resorts are smaller therefore quieter than those aimed at the mass market. In the north is the Mar Menor, a saltwater lagoon separated from the Mediterranean by a 30km stretch of land called La Manga. The 170 km's² of the Mar Menor is often called 'The Largest Swimming Pool in the World' because, being separated, it has higher temperature than the Mediterranean, calmer waters and high levels of salts – thought to have beneficial qualities. The sea temperature fluctuates between 17°C in winter and 23°C in summer.
In the north of the Mar Menor is Lo Pagán which is famous for it's causeway containing healthy grey and black mud baths which attract many visitors from across Europe. People suffering from rheumatism and arthritis come to smear their bodies to alleviate their pain. The salt dunes form a shelter for the nature reserve where there are more than a hundred species of birds, including many flamingos.
The Costa Cálida has it's own small airport at San Javier where there are flights from the UK, mainly in the summer months. However, the main airports are Murcia which is less than one hours drive to all parts, or Alicante airport which is 1 to 1½ hours to the north
