Murcia airport is located so conveniently close to La Manga that it has to be a first choice to anyone on holiday or staying at their property on the resort. Excellent transport links make hiring a car here a really sensible option. Leaving Murcia the A-30 is a quick and direct route on a good road that will take you to the La Manga resort.

When it comes to urban sprawl and development the Costa Calida compared to the Costa Blanca or Costa Almeria is relatively untouched, but where building has taken place great consideration has gone into the planning ensuring the resorts have been constructed in harmony with the natural features of the area. The attractive woodlands, golden beaches and crystal blue green seas, have all been conserved to maintain the original alluring charm of the area. The Calblanque nation park remains one of the least disturbed areas of conservation land, and it will stay protected there for future generations to enjoy. Recently The World Health Organisation decreed the Murcia Province the cleanest in Spain.

It is well worth considering this trip by hire car as you can take in the outstanding natural beauty of the Costa Calida at your own pace. Sample the scenic twisting coastal roads, and reach towns and villages of the region which might otherwise have been missed.
