3 Star Places To Visit in Region of Murcia, Spain (50)

1. 3.5 Balneario De Archena S.a. (994 reviews)
   - Enjoyable day out.
   Spas
   
   
   Visited last week as a family group of four adults. Underground car park costs 8 euros maximum for day. We only paid for the general pools experience which was shown as 15 euros each but discounted to 12 each for a family group. Upon entry at about 1130 it appeared very busy. Still able to find space to sit but sunbeds all taken. However by 1400 it seemed to have emptied and beds were plentiful. Indoor and outdoor pools were great fun and relaxing. Suitable for all ages. Loads of different jets and jacuzzis to try out and a fun lazy river. Caps are obligatory but took our own so don't know how much they cost at reception. Good changing facilities and lockers available however you need a padlock for the lockers which are 3.50 at reception. Didn't use restaurant but snack bar catered for our needs and seemed to be priced reasonably. All in all a fun day out. Would definitely return and perhaps pay extra to experience saunas/steam rooms etc. See more..

   - Lovely drive down the strip
   Geologic Formations
   
   
   We started the day with an early morning 21 kilometre drive along the La Manga Strip. This was the first time that my husband and I have visited La Manga. We usually look across to it from Los Alcazares or Lo Pagan. The strip was lined with apartments, hotels, and several restaurants. Either side of the strip was the ocean (the Mar Menor on the one side and the Mediterranean on the other). We parked the car and went to one of the beaches on the Mediterranean side. The beach was very quiet with white sand and crystal clear water with small fish. Having spent several hours on the beach we drove to the marina at Cabo de Palos. At the marina there were various cafes, restaurants and a diving school. We enjoyed a coffee at Snack Cabo P before heading to the Si! Bar at the La Manga Club for a 3 course Sunday lunch.

It has a range of elevations and uses the strongly contoured greens divided into several sections by random dramatic elevation changes, making putting the main challenge. The golf course is nestled in the heart of a beautiful enclave in an idyllic landscape; golfers here can enjoy a truly tranquil round of golf. At Hacienda Riquelme Golf you can not help but allow yourself to be seduced by the fantastic Nicklaus-designed golf course; it thoughtfully combines every type of distance and challenge; designed to constantly push you and to make use of all your resources and talent.

13. 3.0 Club De Golf La Peraleja (29 reviews)
    - A resort on the up
    Golf Courses
    
    
    Every resort in Spain has had it's problems and Peraleja is no different but this is one which is on the up. There is a buzz about the place now with new properties being built, additional plots being sold off and La Vista restaurant opening. The golf course has its problems and needs a little work in some areas but remains one of the best layouts and challenging courses around and you can play it at reasonable rates. The clubhouse is stunning with amazing views out to the Mar Menor and surrounding areas. We met some lovely people there and there is a lovely town Sucina close by. The beach is only 10 mins drive as is San Javier airport and the lively resort at Los Alcazares around 15 mins. Definitely worth a visit. See more..

    Los Alcapzares is a town on the north bank of the Mar Menor.it is very busy during the tourist season, but it is also heavily populated outside that season.

The town is very well supplied with restaurants, including those of a wide variety of national dishes from many parts of the world.

    Not much in way of a castle, just a few walls but the views of the Calasparra and the surrounding area is stunning. Quite a steep walk to the castle but nicely paved until you get quite close to the top then it's just a stone track. Well worth the effort if you in the area. See more..

    - A nice beach for a stroll
    Wednesday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Beaches
    
    
    We went for a nice walk along this beach the day after a big storm. The water in the Bay of Mazarron was very murky with all the mud that had been washed out to sea so we did not go for a swim. The beach had a life guard and toilets and ample parking on the cliff top and is accessed by wooden stairs. There were nice views of the beach and the bay from the cliff top and also the beach. It is just across the road from a camping site which is handy if you are camping there. There are also what looked like holiday apartments at the Isla Plana end of the beach. The beach is a mix of sand and shingle. See more..
