Anyone wondering where the picture above is taken?
Well… it’s Spain! Yes, And there’s a big chance you haven’t been there. This is one of the great beaches in Murcia, Spain.
Murcia and the Costa Calida are located South of the Province Alicante (Costa Blanca) and North of Almeria. It’s one of the smallest provinces, but yet has 255km of great coastline, with a fantastic climate. The temperatures rearly fall below 17 degrees celcius in the winter and can reach 40 degrees in the middle of the summer. The holiday rental season (July/August) can be busy, but mostly with Spanish tourists. You can still find bars and restaurants where you have to speak Spanish, to order something !
In the winter you will find a lot of people hibernating from Northern Europe, when they escape the cold weather. This, together with Almeria are the best locations for the winter, due to the very mild winter climate.
Murcia can be reached by car or plane, but it’s advisable to take the plane, since it’s about 800km from the French border. Most people from Northern Europe need two days to come over here by car, so more or less waste 4 days in total and it also cheaper to fly. Some low fare airlines: Murcia Guide
I can guarantee you that if you try Murcia, you don’t want anything else….
