Murcia
Murcia is an important holiday
destination, and is known as the garden of Europe. We believe that the 3
Molinos Resort will be built in the best spot! The location is truly unique.
Valle del Sol (Sun Valley) is located 15 minutes away from the cities of
Murcia and Cartegana. Only 10 minutes away from the Mediterranean coast and
the Mar Menor, giving two seashores! - 45 minutes away from the international
airport of Alicante. We are also close to the future international airport
of Corvera. All the airports and towns are easily reached by the new infrastructure
of roads and motorways, which are being built in recognition of the new importance
of this area.
Murcia enjoys a Mediterranean climate with over 300 days of sun per year.
An average temperature of 21 C and mild winters make Murcia an exceptional
place for year long living.
In recent years, Murcia has experienced considerable growth. Murcia is situated
deep in the south east of Spain and simply has it all! One of its outstanding
features is that it enjoys two shores, that of the Mediterranean Sea and
the Mar Menor. The Mar Menor is a large lagoon, which encloses 170 km2 of
warm, salt water. Years ago this lagoon was joined to the Mediterranean Sea
but is now separated by a 24 km strip of land, better known as La Manga.
The area possesses an exceptional micro climate which makes it an ideal place
to enjoy aquatic sports all year round.
Murcia itself is surrounded by lemon and orange trees and is located in
the heart of its orchards made possible by the continuous mild climate. With
more than 300 days of sunshine per year, it competes for first place amongst
the sunniest regions of Europe. Unless you deliberately set out to lie back
and do nothing, it is hard to ignore all that Murcia has to offer. You can
explore the region by car, bicycle or on foot and you will be pleasantly
surprised by the diversity of the scenery on offer. There are vast fields
growing artichokes, almonds, olives etc all situated in picturesque villages
scattered over the valleys. Nature has many faces in this area where a green
oasis will change to desert like scenery. Vast plains merge into rugged mountain
chains. Temperatures vary from a cool breeze at the golf course to a ‘toasting’ heat
on the beach.
