Costa Calida (The Warm Coast)!

Costa Calida lies quietly in the unspoilt southeast Iberian peninsula of Spain, between the Costa’s Almeria (to the south) and Blanca (to the north), in the region of Murcia. Nature has blessed this 170 km coastline with both wild seas with sheer and craggy cliffs and small coves with calm waters and fine sandy shores. It is not only a paradise for lovers of water sports and sun & beach seeking holidaymakers but has unquestionable places of special ecological interest, many having been declared protected natural areas where autochthonous species of flora and fauna can be found.

The beauty continues inland where the land is generously fertile, thanks to the Moorish irrigation system, colourful and majestic. For over 1,500,000 years, human presence has been a constant factor in the development of the landscape since the remotest periods of prehistory. It is well know for its multiple contrasts – dry vs. irrigated land, plains vs. mountainous areas, vineyards vs. mesetas. Orchards of Citrus fruit and Olive, Vines, Cacti and Palms all grow together in this wondrous part of Spain.
