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.

Murcia’s best feature is the Mediterranean coastal strip called Costa Calida. The ‘warm coast’ is home to picturesque fishing towns, stunning mountain ranges and the largest salt water lagoon in the world ‘Mar Menor’.
