There are a number of diving schools around the port and it is also possible to arrange to go on various boat or fishing trips.

La Manga Strip

24 Kilometres of constantly changing scenery that runs between the Mar Menor and the Mediterranean Sea. Along its route you will find shopping areas, bars, restaurants, water skiing, wind surfing, jet skiing and an endless amount of clean beaches, bays and coves.

Lorca

"City of the Sun" located in the SW region of Murcia, Lorca was known as Eliocroca which became shortened to Lorca and was the capital of the area until the city of Murcia was established.

All places have placards in English explaining the history.
