COSTA CÁLIDA SHOWS ANOTHER SIDE TO THE SEASIDE HOLIDAY
As attentions turn towards the summer holidays, UK holiday makers may well be looking for inspiration for their 2019 beach adventure.
There are many stunning beaches dotted around the region of Murcia in the south east of Spain, with the Mediterranean lapping at the shore and 252km of coastline to relax and unwind. The Costa Cálida – or the warm coast – lives up to its name with sea, sunshine and sand.
But there is so much more to this glorious stretch of coast than meets the eye with a host of exciting and interesting activities to suit all interests and ages while you’re there.
Here are six of the best reasons to head for the Costa Cálida and make the most of the Spanish seaside.
1) A whale of a time in Mazarrón
Sail the high seas on a schooner for an unforgettable adventure to track down dolphins, pilot whales and all kinds of other marine life in their natural habitat and marvel as they often swim so close to the boat, it’s as if they are greeting their guests.
