Sierra Espuña

La Torre is only 20 minutes from the Mar Menor. This saltwater lake, formed by volcanic activity, is in an area of outstanding natural beauty. The beaches at Santiago de La Ribera and Los Alcazares offer superb facilities with easy parking along the various promenades. The water remains a degree or two warmer than the Mediterranean throughout the year, and offers shallow water for safe bathing, and a number of sailing, diving and water sports centres.

It’s a popular area for walking, cycling and horse-riding. La Torre is also situated just 45 minutes from the Parque Natural Sierra Espuna, so you can spend a day in the mountains! La Torre, being centrally placed in Murcia, offers a number of “days out” to historic cities, museums, art galleries, festivals and entertainment, just 25 minutes from Murcia City and 30 minutes to the historic port of Cartegena.

The 8th Tee

For golfers there are a large number of other courses just a short drive away.  At La Torre, the golf course offers a natural grass driving range with 20 bays, putting and chipping green and a practice bunker, see www.gnkgolf.com for more details.

Bicycle hire is available at the supermarket for both adult and child bikes.

Part of the sun terrace

The apartment accommodates 4 people very comfortably. Both the balcony and the terrace have a patio table & 4 chairs to give you a choice of sun or shade during the day.  We have also provided additional sun-loungers, plus 2 picnic chairs, cool box & cool packs for your days out. There is a storage room off the terrace which can be used to store suitcases and golf clubs.

Travel Details

Here are the directions to La Torre from Alicante airport.

Here are the directions to La Torre from Murcia RMU Airport, Corvera.

Central location

A number of low-cost airlines fly direct to Murcia airport from regional UK airports throughout the UK, and the apartment is only a 20 minutes drive when you arrive.  All year round flights are also available into Alicante, which is  approximately 50 minutes’ drive.  But the roads are good and the drive is easy.  We can provisionally reserve your holiday dates for up to 24 hours to enable you to book the best flights. We can arrange transfers if you don’t want to hire a car (payable locally).  Although you can holiday without a car, hiring one helps to make the most of the area. We use Flamenca Cars for our car hire. With them you know what you are paying when you book with no extras added on at the airport.  But cheaper options are available. By hiring a car you can experience much more, including other golf courses in the area, local villages, fiestas, wine tours, the Sierra Espuna, the city of Murcia and the towns of Cartegena and Lorca, the WaterPark and Zoo, organised walking tours, horse-riding, white water rafting, etc.  There is so much to see and do within quite short journeys, with something for everyone!
