stretching from San Javier to Aguilas, was until recent years unknown to foreigners, and was the preferred choice of many Spanish people for their summer holidays. Now the area is opening up to foreign nationals, many of whom have come to reside permanently, bringing a cosmopolitan atmosphere to the area while retaining its traditional culture.
The region is steeped in history, with stunning beaches and secluded coves, beautiful countryside, friendly people and wonderful food, and is an ideal location for those seeking a paradise for holidays, or maybe looking for a new way of life.
It is served by Murcia San Javier airport, and the airports of Alicante and Almeria are within two hours drive.

coastal landscape is characterized by the variety of its beaches.
