La Manga is a narrow strip of land separating the seas of the Mar Menor and the Mediterranean for about 20 kilometers (12 miles). Famous for its clean air, it is also famous for the biggest saltwater lagoon Mar Menor, the salty water that is touted as good for rheumatism and skin problems. The strip along the beach is a resort town, and there is a sports harbor where all kinds of watersport activities take place. It is also on flat terrain, so La Manga is easy to get about for walkers and cyclists. The climate is nice and warm all year round. Tourists venture to Cartagena for day trips and to Murcia less than an hour’s drive away for cultural attractions, shopping, and famous things to do. Known as the ‘paradise between the seas’, people flock to La Manga for a resort stay and to participate in sea sports.
