It is no coincidence that the coast of the region of Murcia is called the Warm Coast, for the climate really does do justice to its name with an average temperature of 11º in December and January and 2,800 hours of sun per year, which have invited warriors to rest since time immemorial.

Situated in the southeast of the Iberian Peninsula and bordered by the regions of Valencia, Castilla-La Mancha and Andalusia, the region of Murcia has a surface area of 11,317km2 and is a land of endless contrasts. Its 170 kilometres of coast stretch from the beach of El Mojón in San Pedro del Pinatar to that of La Carolina in Águilas and offer infinite possibilities for swimming and sunbathing on long golden beaches or in hidden coves in a volcanic landscape.

The mountains are the protagonists of the interior where the slopes of the Ricote, La Pila, Espuña and El Carche ranges are carpeted with Aleppo pine. A considerable part of Murcia's history is focused on the river Segura, the source of water for the region's abundant agricultural produce and on whose banks some of the most important towns of the region were constructed.
