Hacienda Riquelme Golf Resort is located in the region of Murcia on the Costa Calida, South East Spain. Murcia is one of the smaller regions of Spain. However, it has been said that within its boundaries it encapsulates all that is Spain.
The Region of Murcia has miles of sandy beaches – the Costa Calida (Warm Coast) - rugged mountains and lakes - fertile plains capable of growing pretty much anything from salad vegetables to cotton and rice, oranges and lemons to grapes and apricots. Murcia has all of this as well as the healthiest climate in Europe (according to the World Health Organisation) with more than 320 days of sunshine per year.
For years the region of Murcia did not have the easy access of the other regions. However, in recent years the Region of Murcia has gained grants from the EU which have been wisely spent on a system of new roads. Also in the past few years Murcia airport (San Javier) has become increasingly popular with low cost airlines from the UK. Murcia has looked at the Costa del Sol to the South and the southern Costa Blanca to the North and has learned much from the overbuilding in those areas. Murcia therefore, has very strict planning laws that are aimed at protecting the beauty of the region and it has established several natural parks.
Yes there is development here, but the majority of this is on World class golf resorts and also beachfront property on the La Manga Strip. Apart from the La Manga Strip, no high-rise properties are allowed and parks and green areas have to be left within developments. Murcia is a region that is growing – fast, but remains a challenge to explore.
Murcia enjoys more than 3000 hours of sunshine a year. The generous presence of sun combined with the region’s long coastline have made this Murcia one of the favorite holiday destination of domestic and international tourism alike.
All the sun Murcia receives and the mild average temperatures and climate, make Murcia an area especially attractive for carrying out any type of activity throughout the year.
Another weather feature is the low rainfall in Murcia. This low rainfall helps certain Ibero-African plant species to flourish in certain areas here. The so-called “fossil dunes” in Calblanque protected area in Cartagena and the San Pedro del Pinatar salt marshes, rich in iodine and one of Spain’s most important natural spas, are just two more attractions of the varied landscape of Murcia.
Just fly into the San Javier airport in Murcia and feel the fine and warm breeze that welcomes you to this beautiful Spanish region, the region of Murcia, Spain.
