Costa Cálida
Die Costa Cálida ist eine einzigartige Mittelmeerküstenregion in Spanien, die zur Autonomen Gemeinschaft Murcia gehört. Sie bietet eine Mischung aus warmem Klima (über 300 Sonnentage im Jahr), historischer Tiefe, traditioneller landwirtschaftlicher Stärke und vielfältigen Landschaften, die insbesondere für das Mar Menor und ihre ausgezeichneten Golfanlagen bekannt sind.

Why is it called Costa Calida?
The name “Costa Calida” comes from the mild warm climate that characterises this Mediterranean coastal lagoon located in the region of Murcia. The Spanish expression “calida” means “hot”, and this name refers to the mild and pleasant temperatures enjoyed in the area during much of the year.
The Mar Menor – an essential part of the Costa Calida – is one of the factors contributing to this warm climate, as its shallow waters warm easily and maintain higher temperatures than the open sea.
So, both because of its climate and the region’s natural characteristics, the Costa Calida has earned its evocative name, attracting visitors and residents who wish to benefit from the blessings of its climate and its scenic charm.
