The Region is also rich with towns and cities with historic buildings, some dating back to the Romans and before. They also have modern shops, street markets and leisure facilities to offer the visitors. The Spanish culture of Cuisine, Fiestas and Siestas remains unspoilt, as the tourist trade in this area is largely made up of Spanish visitors.

The governing bodies, the Town Halls, in this region are very anxious to protect the national heritage of their sierras (mountains) salinas (salt lakes) beaches and grasslands and have allocated huge areas to be National and Regional Parks. They will not allow building of any kind in these designated areas, maybe they have benefited from the hard lesson learned in other parts of Spain, where they appear to have built properties at the expense of the flora and fauna and quality of life.

Access
The coastal villages and towns have been visited by Spanish holiday makers for many years and have all the facilities of Marinas, Bars, restaurants, watersports etc. but it is only since the EU has invested large amounts of money into the upgrading of roads, bridges and airports that this area has become accessible to visitors from the UK and Northern Europe.

The low cost flights to Alicante and Murcia Airports also make this almost a weekend destination for the UK visitor or homeowner.

Hidden Gems
We have spent all of our spare time travelling the area, discovering it’s treasures, whether it is an old monastery, a secluded restaurant over hanging a tiny cove, the best fish restaurants in the area, mountain trails and lots lots more. We would like to share all of these treasures with you. If you like the area, we will find you the property.

Town Hall Investment
It does not take the visitor long to realise that much money is being spent in this area, with the development of massive projects such as deep water Marinas in the Mediterranean, stylish new tourist information centres and shopping centres, miles of new tiled promenades, hundreds of palm trees and green areas as well as numerous golf courses. This indicates to us that this area will not only have all the modern facilities that the best resorts in Spain have, but also retain it’s natural heritage, cultural inheritance, landscape and traditions.

Pronunciation
Murcia is a relatively unknown region of Spain at the northern edge of the Costa Calida (warm coast)between the Costa Blanca and the Costa del Sol. The name Murcia is actually pronounced by most UK citizens as Mercia, Mircia or Mersia but in Spanish it is actually pronounced Merthia, Mirthia or Murthia.
