			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.marlboroughworld.com/"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px 10px 5px 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="Englidh Leather Luxury Goods" border="0" alt="Englidh Leather Luxury Goods" align="left" src="http://www.blogidol.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/EnglidhLeatherLuxuryGoods.jpg" width="190" height="151" /></a> When it comes to world class, unrivalled quality, there are three words that really matter: made in England. Whether you&#8217;re looking for hip flasks or leather shooting accessories, <a href="http://www.marlboroughworld.com/product-category.asp?cat=4"><strong>luxury English leather goods</strong></a> that are made in England with the finest leather, and by the most skilled craftsmen     <br />upholding all of the traditions of quality and attention to detail will outclass anything you&#8217;ll find elsewhere.</p>
<p>From the highest quality leather shooting accessories such as cartridge cases and gun slips to a gorgeous desk blotter or stationery tray, the words &#8216;England&#8217;, &#8216;craftsmen&#8217; and &#8216;leather&#8217; seem to evoke an innate sense of quality.</p>
<p>We almost expect to discover the kind of quality that makes you proud to own the luxury goods, to run your finger along the seams, to smell the leather and admire the way it looks.</p>
<p> <span id="more-195"></span>
<p>If you have a beautiful wooden writing desk then a luxury leather desk blotter not only provides a very practical solution, protecting the surface of your desk and providing a convenient surface for writing or signing letters and documents, but by choosing a luxury leather desk blotter that&#8217;s    <br />handmade in England by real craftsmen, then you know that the way it looks and feels is every bit as important and appreciated as how it works.</p>
<p>Hip flasks have long proven popular, whether by those setting off for a long country walk, a highland hike or a day shooting. But hip flasks serve a greater purpose than simply being a portable container for a refreshing drink, or a wee drop of the special Scottish water!</p>
<p>Hip flasks are stylish accessories, beautiful items in themselves, providing convenience, luxury and style all in an elegant, lightweight, durable package that can be carried or worn easily.</p>
<p>Luxury English leather goods can include a range of <strong><a href="http://www.marlboroughworld.com/">hip flasks</a></strong>, or containers for hip flasks, enabling you to face nature with a bracing determination and a beautiful hip flask of which you&#8217;ll be as pleased with the exterior as much as the interior! Plastic bottles are for students. For the perfect English gentleman, luxury leather hip flasks are the order of the day.</p>
<p>When it comes to choosing gun slips and cartridge cases, leather <strong><a href="http://www.marlboroughworld.com/product-category.asp?cat=24">shooting accessories</a></strong> are head and shoulders above plastic alternatives, providing both the look and style that is the mark of quality. But it&#8217;s more than that, because leather is soft, malleable and durable, providing protection from the elements, and ensuring your shooting equipment remains in excellent condition, removing any possible excuse for missing that brace on Sunday!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.deepmetaldetector.com/"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="Deep Metal Detecting" border="0" alt="Deep Metal Detecting" src="http://www.blogidol.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/deepmetaldetecting.jpg" width="200" height="166" /></a> How great would it be to find hidden treasure? If you are anything like me, the thought should fill you with an unparalleled excitement of possibility.</p>
<p>There are some fantastic reasons for taking up the hobby of metal detecting. Some may even refer to it as a sport due to the exercise you will also be getting as you search for the unknown &#8211; the hidden treasure that could lie just beneath your feet. Using a <a href="http://www.deepmetaldetector.com/">metal detector</a>, could quite simply take you anywhere, the possibilities are endless.</p>
<p>Think of how satisfied and excited Terry Herbet must be right now with his massive find in Staffordshire! Terry may have just unknowingly stumbled upon the discovery of a lifetime, one that has the potential to change our beliefs and challenges the way we will now view history.</p>
<p>In case you are not aware, Terry stumbled upon one of the most amazing treasures of all time whilst <a title="Metal detecting" href="deep metal detecting">metal detecting</a> in Staffordshire, and once the items are valued, the pay off for his hobby will more than likely provide him with millions to last him the rest of his life.</p>
<p>How&#8217;s that for a <a title="Hidden treasure" href="http://www.deepmetaldetector.com/">hidden treasure</a>!</p>
<p> <span id="more-130"></span>
<p>We may not all be able to come across as brilliant a find as Terry, however there are definitely some valuable discoveries still to be found out there. They could just be waiting for you and your metal detector to discover them.</p>
<p><b>So how do you do it?</b></p>
<p>First and foremost, you will need to ensure you have a good metal detector that will be effective for the places you wish to search. There are different options available if you would like to detect on the beach, park, or underwater. Yes underwater!</p>
<p>Finding treasure underwater is often referred to as <a title="Deep metal detecting" href="http://www.deepmetaldetector.com/">deep metal detecting</a>. This can be extremely profitable as many valuable items are lost out at sea and never to be recovered again. That is of course, until you came along!</p>
<p>To achieve success with your metal detecting, it is important to conduct research beforehand. The useful information that you can gather from your local library or through searching the Internet can provide you with a great starting point.</p>
<p>Knowing where to start is one of the key factors for any person wishing to take this hobby seriously. Simply getting out your metal detector and starting on your front lawn may lead you to finding some interesting things, however visiting places from our history, that you have researched beforehand, could prove far more fruitful, as Terry now knows all too well.</p>
<p>Metal detecting can be fun and rewarding for anyone wishing to give it a go. It doesn’t have to cost you the earth to purchase a metal detector &#8211; Terry got his from a jumble sale!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Advice on choosing an estate agency when buying golf property in Murcia, Spain. Murcia golf resort resale agents.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.murciagolfproperties.co.uk/"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="Murcia Golf Property" border="0" alt="Murcia Golf Property" src="http://www.blogidol.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/marmenor.jpg" width="204" height="204" /></a> A recent survey has suggested that even in these tough economic times Spain is still a top destination for overseas property investment particularly in golf property resales. If you&#8217;re looking to buy a property at one of the many first class golf resorts in Murcia then you&#8217;ll be spoilt for choice. The Spanish region of Murcia is home to some of the best golfing in Europe due to the proliferation of quality resorts and courses which are either under construction or already complete. </p>
<p>With many UK residents already setting up home in a <a href="http://www.murciagolfproperties.co.uk/">Murcia golf resort property</a>, or buying up property as a rental investment, it&#8217;s important to choose a leading real estate agent who has a thorough knowledge of the region and the overseas property market.</p>
<p><b>Why buy golf property in Murcia</b></p>
<p>Located in South Eastern Spain, Murcia is an autonomous region situated between Andalucia and Valencia and was voted the cleanest province in Spain by the World Health Organisation. The warm climate averages over 300 sunny days each year with temperatures topping 34°C. Murcia can be easily reached from the UK by air with two international airports serving the region and a third due to open in 2010. The area is also well served by good motorway and rail networks.</p>
<p> <span id="more-118"></span>
<p>Murcia&#8217;s best feature is the Mediterranean coastal strip called Costa Calida. The &#8216;warm coast&#8217; is home to picturesque fishing towns, stunning mountain ranges and the largest salt water lagoon in the world &#8216;Mar Menor&#8217;. The waters at Mar Menor are thought to be therapeutic and the conditions make it ideal for water sports enthusiasts who are served by extensive sailing, windsurfing and water-skiing facilities.</p>
<p><b>Buy a Murcia golf property from a resale agent</b></p>
<p>The choice of top quality property in the golf resorts of Murcia is staggering. Whether you fancy the <a title="Condado de Alhama Villas" href="http://www.murciagolfproperties.co.uk/Villas/Condado_de_Alhama">Condado de Alhama Villas</a>, <a title="La Torre Apartments" href="http://www.murciagolfproperties.co.uk/Apartments/La_Torre_Golf_Resort">La Torre Apartments</a> or <a title="Mar Menor Townhouses" href="http://www.murciagolfproperties.co.uk/Townhouses/Mar_Menor_Golf_Resort">Mar Menor Townhouses</a>, you should ensure you employ the services of a leading Murcia golf resort estate agent to aid your search.</p>
<p>Choose a resale agency with a track record of working with developers such as Polaris World or Gestibena. A master resale agency will have a bigger range of properties on their books and the staff will usually own a property at one of the resorts giving you the added advantage of being served by people who know what it&#8217;s like to live there. </p>
<p>The agency should have in-depth knowledge of off-plan purchases, contract resales, property resale, purchase costs and all legal matters involving the purchase of a property in Spain. A professional estate agent will also have strong links with other services which will prove useful to you such as banks, solicitors, furniture and fittings suppliers and maintenance contractors. </p>
<p>If you&#8217;re considering installing a swimming pool at your property the agent should be able recommended a local supplier. It&#8217;s important to use a pool company that knows the golf resorts of Murcia, the various local planning rules and regulations and can provide a complete service from design to installation and maintenance.</p>
<p><b>Viewing property at the golf resorts of Murcia</b></p>
<p><b></b></p>
<p>Before making such an important purchase you&#8217;ll want to visit the region and view some properties. A quality golf property resale agent will liaise with you over your visit and provide a friendly knowledgeable member of staff to accompany you while viewing.</p>
<p>The agent will be able to advise you on car hire and taxi fares and find you luxury hotel accommodation at, or near to, the resort itself. The agent will give you insight into the region, the local amenities available in Murcia and provide straightforward advice about the Spanish property market and potential for investment.</p>
<p><b>Which property to buy?</b></p>
<p>You&#8217;ll be shown some great golf properties during your visit to the region so don&#8217;t expect the decision to be an easy one! Before your visit, and to whet your appetite, here are some recommended apartments, townhouses and villas from the various golf resorts of Murcia.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.murciagolfproperties.co.uk/Villas/El_Valle_Golf_Resort"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="El Valle Golf Resort" border="0" alt="El Valle Golf Resort" src="http://www.blogidol.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/elvallegolfresort.jpg" width="204" height="154" /></a> El Valle golf resort in Murcia, Spain is one of the most exclusive in the region and with its championship golf course consistently rated in the top five of the current Murcia courses, now would be a good time to pick up a great deal on <a title="El Valle resales" href="http://www.murciagolfproperties.co.uk/Featured/El_Valle_Golf_Resort">El Valle resales</a>. El Valle is a low-build resort and the developer is unlikely to create another like this with so few properties. Luxury villas and apartments built on over one million square metres of beautiful Murcia land with views across the <a title="Mar Menor" href="http://www.murciagolfproperties.co.uk/">Mar Menor</a>&#8230;what more could you ask for?</p>
<p> <span id="more-111"></span>
<p><b>Getting to El Valle Golf Resort</b></p>
<p>Flying in from the UK will take approximately two hours and by 2010 there&#8217;ll be a choice of airports. Currently, San Javier airport is the closest with just a 20 minute drive to El Valle. Alternatively, Alicante airport is a 45 minute journey but by next year the new airport under construction at Corvera will open which means journey time to El Valle will be down to just 15 minutes.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re looking to travel within the country or perhaps are already located in Spain, the golf resort is 3.5 hours drive from Madrid, 2.5 hours from Valencia and 2 hours from Granada.</p>
<p><b>Location of El Valle Golf Resort</b></p>
<p>As the name of the resort suggests, El Valle is located in a valley at the foot of the Carrascoy Mountains next to Baños Y Mendigo, a hamlet with only 340 inhabitants. The name &#8216;Baños Y Mendigo&#8217; translates as &#8216;Baths and Beggar (or pauper)&#8217; and refers to the historical waters which were used for irrigation and bathing of locals and a small chapel which was once home to a beggar.</p>
<p>The beaches at Mar Menor and the other golf resorts of La Loma, La Torre, Hacienda Riquelme, Laa Terrazas de la Torre and Mar Menor are within a 15 minute drive.</p>
<p><b>Facilities and things to do at El Valle</b></p>
<p><b></b></p>
<p>As with many of the golf resorts in Murcia, construction is still ongoing but once complete El Valle will boast some high quality facilities. The clubhouse opened last summer and is home to the El Asador restaurant, the Sandalo Bar and the Clover Irish Bar. Once the town centre is complete, all the amenities you&#8217;d expect such as shops, gym and a health spa will become available. </p>
<p>In the meantime, El Valle is on the Polaris World shuttle bus route which means as a resident you can travel to the nearby resorts of Hacienda Riquelme, La Torre and Mar Menor and take advantage of their facilities without having to drive.</p>
<p>If you want a break from golfing, the city of Murcia is a 15 minute drive from El Valle. There you&#8217;ll find stunning architecture, a grand cathedral, museums, high street shops and pavement cafés. The Aqua Natura water park is also close to Murcia city combining water slides with a zoo.</p>
<p>The clear blue seas of Mar Menor and its splendid beaches are just 10 minutes from El Valle. Mar Menor is perfect for the water sports enthusiast. If water isn&#8217;t your thing, you can go hiking, cycling and fishing around the nature reserves and mountains of Murcia. </p>
<p><b></b></p>
<p><b></b></p>
<p><b>El Valle Resale Golf Property</b></p>
<p><b></b></p>
<p>Just 668 properties including apartments and three types of villa have been built at El Valle. Apartments range from two bedroom/1bathroom to 2 bed/2 bathroom. Villas are available as three bedroom/two bathroom, three bed/three bathroom and huge five bed/five bathroom. Interiors have been fitted with superior finishes including air conditioning, fully fitted kitchens, timber shutters and private pools.</p>

<p><b>El Valle Golf Course</b></p>
<p><b></b></p>
<p>The real reason for buying a property at El Valle is to play the Jack Nicklaus designed championship golf course. An 18-hole desert-style par 71 challenge awaits you each day and this undulating course utilises the natural terrain and hazards you&#8217;d expect of golfing set in Murcian hills and countryside.</p>
<p>El Valle is by no means a long course at 6,161 yards and any golfer with a long game will score well provided they steer clear of the many hazards. With few trees and very little out of bounds areas even the wayward shots off the tee can pick up an advance forward on the ball and get back in play without problem.</p>
<p>Residents of El Valle receive favourable discounts on Green Fees. Special promotional periods where you can get free buggies are also sometimes available. Once you&#8217;ve played the El Valle challenge, there&#8217;s the other Nicklaus golf trail courses located at each of the <a title="Polaris World" href="http://www.murciagolfproperties.co.uk/">Polaris World</a> resorts to visit where you can receive up to 50% of your Green Fees.</p>

And if you&#8217;re choosing a golf resort here why not go for the biggest resort so far at Condado de Alhama. At 9 million square metres this resort is bigger than the other Polaris World golf resorts put together and once complete will boast three Jack Nicklaus designed golf courses. There is no better time to take a look at what this resort has to offer as a new town centre will be completed this month (July 2009) adding more first class facilities to what is already one of the best resorts in the world.</p>
<p> <span id="more-94"></span>
<p><b>Condado de Alhama Golf Resort</b></p>
<p>The Polaris World Condado de Alhama golf resort is in the Valle del Guadalentín area of Murcia, Spain. Situated in the foothills of Sierra Espuna and Carrascoy-El Valle (two regional nature reserves) the resort is divided into three areas: Los Jardines de Alhama, Los Naranjos de Alhama and La Isla del Condado.</p>
<p><b>Los Jardines de Alhama</b></p>
<p><b></b></p>
<p>Translated this means &#8216;The Gardens of Alhama&#8217; and the area, as you&#8217;d expect, is spacious and green with properties built around landscaped gardens and swimming pools. The Los Jardines complex is pedestrianised with dedicated cycle lanes enabling residents to stroll or cycle around the parks and enjoy the vast variety of plant life. Los Jardines de Alhama is extremely family friendly with its separate play areas for children and it also has excellent sports facilities including tennis courts, football pitches and basketball courts. The properties are built in a traditional Mediterranean style with architecture that blends in perfectly with the manicured surroundings.</p>

<p>&#8216;Naranjos&#8217; is the name given to a native orange tree of the region and this area of Condado de Alhama is lined with the ornamental tree on its streets, within its gardens and around its squares. Los Naranjos is in the heart of the golf resort and once had its own town centre called El Agora. This town centre has been extended to encompass the new resort town centre called El Foro providing an even greater range of facilities just a short walk away along the leafy avenues. Properties in Los Naranjos have a stepped architectural design and the penthouses look out onto the Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course (under construction – due for completion in December 2009). </p>

<p><b>La Isla del Condado</b></p>
<p><b></b></p>
<p>Condado de Alhama translated means &#8216;Alhama County&#8217; which is where the resort is situated in Murcia. La Isla del Condado means &#8216;The Island of the County&#8217; and this area is an apartment complex on an island on the lake in the centre of the golf resort. La Isla is a waterfront setting that stretches down to the main town centre of El Foro. Residents benefit from stunning views from their apartments across the lake as well as three infinity pools that give the impression of being part of the lake itself. La Isla has tranquil boulevards and green spaces that incorporate children&#8217;s play areas. Around the lake are several piers from which a ferry service runs to the town centre.</p>

<p><b>El Foro &amp; El Oasis Town Centre</b></p>

Designed in a Hispanic-Arabic style around a courtyard with a large central water feature, the El Foro town centre is due to open this month (July 2009) and along with the 60,000 square metre El Oasis town centre provides bars, restaurants, banks, stores, supermarkets, hairdressers, launderettes, pharmacies, restaurants, cinemas and healthcare services to residents.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.yachtcharter-solent.co.uk/"><img title="Yacht Charter Solent" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="154" alt="Yacht Charter Solent" src="http://www.blogidol.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/1115242-catamaran-on-the-canal.jpg" width="204" border="0" /></a> Anyone owning a boat knows that apart from the cost of purchase, annual ongoing fees for moorings, repairs and general upkeep are considerable. Add to that the, in some cases, significant depreciation and one can understand why for most people, the option of chartering remains the only viable way to spend time afloat. Rates vary according to the size and specification but, spread amongst a few friends, a weekend aboard a bang up to date boat, fully loaded with the latest equipment all ready for you to step aboard, can be enjoyed for less than the cost of a new set of oilskins.</p>
<p> <span id="more-77"></span>
<p>Whilst boats can be had all over the UK is isn’t hard to understand why <strong><a title="Yacht charter Solent" href="http://www.yachtcharter-solent.co.uk/">Solent yacht charter</a></strong> remains so popular. Still the Mecca for yachties, this area of the south coast has so much to offer. Cowes may be the epicentre but nearby, other, more tranquil moorings can be found that still offer superb cruising options for the charter skipper. Bucklers Hard on the Beaulieu River is only some 45 minutes upstream from Cowes and here you will enjoy a less frenetic pace but still have the benefit of all the modern marina facilities. Personally, I find that mooring at these upstream locations gives each voyage a natural start and finish, allowing time to get everything shipshape in a relaxed environment rather than being pitched straight into the open sea or before arriving at the marina after a challenging sail.</p>
<p>Cruising options are limited only by time and tide but <strong><a title="Newtown Creek" href="http://www.yachtcharter-solent.co.uk/destinations">Newtown Creek</a></strong>, Cowes and Yarmouth are all within a morning’s sail. Whilst the Isle of Wight is a natural choice for a day sail, weekenders may choose to head off to Poole, Weymouth or Portsmouth. The Channels Islands and the north coast of France make an ideal long weekend destination.</p>
<p>One option often overlooked by boat owners is the need to address the increasing number of family groups wanting to charter. <a title="Child friendly boats" href="http://www.yachtcharter-solent.co.uk/about"><strong>Child friendly boats</strong></a> are hard to come by so look for one with adequate safety features, it will make for a more relaxing trip. One such boat that I came across, Ameley, a Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 40.3 ticked all the boxes. Added to a top specification, twin wheel positions add to the helmsman’s comfort and all round netting should ensure that any little people remain on board. Whether bareboat or skippered, yacht charter from one of the many marinas across Hampshire offers plenty of options.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Your decision to buy an apartment, townhouse or villa at one of of the <strong><a title="Polaris World golf resort" href="http://www.murciagolfproperties.co.uk/">Polaris World golf resort</a></strong> areas in Murcia, Spain will no doubt have been influenced by the thought of living next to and playing at some of the best golf courses in Europe. Created by Jack Nicklaus&#8217; design company exclusively for Polaris World, you&#8217;ll get to play the course at the resort where you live and have discounted golfing at the other eight courses that will make up the prestigious “Nicklaus Golf Trail” once it&#8217;s complete. Here we take a whistle-stop tour of the golf courses at the resorts and look at some of the current properties available to buy at each.</p>
<p> <span id="more-86"></span>
<p><b>Mar Menor Golf Course &amp; Property</b></p>

Make no mistake, at 9-holes this course is still a great challenge and as you&#8217;d expect from Nicklaus Design the wide smooth fairways, greens and simple shaped bunkers are in excellent condition. Properties are located close to each hole meaning that if you buy here you really will have a golf course in your back garden!</p>

<p><b>Hacienda Riquelme Golf Course &amp; Property</b></p>

For the golfer, the course is larger than average with 18-holes and a par of 72. Fairways are lined with olive trees and wild flowers and there&#8217;s five lakes. Once the old Hacienda Manor House at the end of the course has completed its restoration it will provide a dramatic backdrop to the final hole.</p>

<p>The resort itself is apartment only meaning a low-density of property and this 2-bedroom is a great example of what&#8217;s on offer at Hacienda Riquelme. Situated on the second-floor with views across the course, it has a communal swimming pool, underground parking and air-conditioned lounge area.</p>

<p><b>La Loma Golf Course</b></p>
<p>The La Loma resort has been designed as a sports centre resort and a 9-hole course is currently in the planning phase of construction. Once complete it will aid the resort&#8217;s golfing academy and teaching centre. The course will serve to improve the game of beginners as well as providing a fun pitch and putt style challenge to more experienced golfers.</p>
<p><b>Las Terrazas Golf Course &amp; Property</b></p>
<p>Another &#8216;desert&#8217; style golf course can be found at <strong><a title="Las Terrazas golf resort" href="La Torre golf resort">Las Terrazas golf resort</a></strong>. Similar to El Valle and designed to be reminiscent of the Jack Nicklaus &#8216;Lake&#8217; course in Las Vegas, the course at Las Terrazas is currently under construction but once complete will be one of the jewels in the crown of the Nicklaus Golf Trail. Rolling fairways and undulating greens run through the desert style dunes and around a large six hectare lake. The 18-hole par 72 will have similar characteristics to the links courses found in the UK but with the benefit of Spanish sunshine!</p>

<p><b>Condado de Alhama Golf Courses &amp; Property</b></p>
<p>Notice we say courses for the Condado de Alhama resort because this great location will boast three Nicklaus Design golf courses. The first is a Jack Nicklaus Principal Signature course meaning the great man designed it himself for Polaris World. With 18-holes and a par of 72, this course promises to be the best on the Golf Trail with elevations that change sharply and four lakes providing a dramatic backdrop.</p>
<p>The second and third courses are in the planning phase but will be designed as &#8216;replica courses&#8217;. This will mean 18 different holes at each course that are replicas of Nicklaus Signature Courses from around the world including: Muirfield, Royal Palm and Bayside. The first course will be reminiscent of the tropical style course found at Florida Parklands while the second will have holes selected from 240 Signature Courses in the desert style similar to Mexico and Arizona.</p>

In this article we&#8217;ll provide details about getting to the Murcia region and Mar Menor resort and also show you the type of golf properties currently available at Mar Menor which you can expect to see when you arrive.</p>
<p> <span id="more-65"></span>
<p><b>Getting to Murcia – Flights and Airports</b></p>
<p>Murcia is just 75km south of Alicante and both cities have their own airport from which you can travel to Mar Menor. Currently there are 10 airlines flying to both these airports which means plenty of low-cost flights. In 2010, another airport will open in Corvera just 20 minutes outside of Murcia city.</p>
<p>With a flight time from London to Murcia airport at just under 2 hours, and many UK regional airports also providing daily flights to the region, Mar Menor is simple to get to making it a great golf resort for long breaks or a short weekend trip.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re flying into Alicante you&#8217;re just a 45 minute drive from the Polaris World Mar Menor resort via the A7, AP7 and A30 motorways. From Murcia airport, which is actually situated near the town of San Javier (45km from the city of Murcia) it&#8217;s a mere 10 minute car or taxi journey.</p>
<p><b>Getting to Mar Menor Golf Resort – Taxi or Car Hire</b></p>
<p>If your flight lands at Murcia airport then your best options for getting to the Mar Menor Golf Resort are by taxi or hiring a car &#8211; public transport does not serve the area well. </p>
<p>A taxi from Murcia airport will cost around €20.00 and take approximately 10 minutes. If you&#8217;re landing at Alicante, expect to pay around €70.00 for a 40 minute journey into the Mar Menor Golf Resort.</p>
<p>If your search for a golf property at Mar Menor is over a few days why not take advantage of hiring a car so you can get around and visit some of the fantastic attractions, mountains and beaches the region has to offer. Spanish car hire is relatively cheap and you&#8217;ll find a good choice at both Murcia and Alicante airports. Book ahead and then pick up your keys from the terminal rental office on arrival. You can get some great deals using online internet car hire brokers such as Sky Cars or Car Jet.</p>
<p>Once you become a Polaris World Mar Menor Golf Resort resident or owner you&#8217;ll be able to take advantage of Polaris World&#8217;s own car rental service. You&#8217;ll find the service offers some competitive rates and exclusive services such as collection from the airport and your car being delivered to your golf property. Prices for this exclusive service for a small hatchback begin at around €40-50 per day.</p>
<p><b>Staying at Mar Menor Golf Resort</b></p>

<p>A short car journey west of the Mar Menor Golf Resort is the municipal of Torre Pacheco where you&#8217;ll find some quality accommodation for your stay in Murcia. A few miles East of the resort is Los Alcazares, a village on the coast of the Mar Menor sea famous for its therapeutic waters.
