COSTA CALIDA AND THE MAR MENOR -------------------------------------------------------------- Roda is not just for the golfer ..... Just 2 km from the unique natural setting of quiet, shallow waters of The Mar Menor, the largest natural seawater lagoon in Europe. The setting of the Costa Calida and Mar Menor is truly incredible, with more than 253 Km of Mediterranean beach, around 320 days of sunshine per year enjoying annual average temperatures of around 21 ºC and ideal for a relaxing holiday year round. It is the ideal spot to enjoy an exclusive paradise with all the cultural and biological richness of the region of Murcia. It is also one of the most important spots in the world for sports lovers, offering various water sports including swimming, sailing, skuba diving and water skiing, as well as activities such as tennis, trekking or golf. LOCAL RESORTS ----------------------------- LOS ALCAZARES The nearest town of Los Alcázares, set on the Mar Menor, is 2 km away with a range of shops, bars & restaurants. With its promenade streching for 8km, the local blue-flag beaches are fantastic having won the Q awards for excellence & safety. The waters of the Mar Menor are also renouned for their healing properties - and the temperature of the water can be amazing. The beaches are dotted with "chiringuitos" - bars selling a variety of Tapas dishes, refreshments & local beer! LOS NAREJOS The nearest beach at Los Narejos is 2 km from the resort. Gently shelving and really safe for kids. Apart from the height of Summer, the beach is usually quiet and is my personal favourite. The beach bars serve reasonably priced tapas, snacks and burgers. Start from here to walk the promenade all the way to the Yacht Club at the other end of Los Alcazares. SANTIAGO DE LA RIBERA The fishing village of Santiago de la Ribera is just 10 minutes drive away. It grew as a prime holiday destination for wealthy Murcians who built their houses along the coast. Santiago has a lovely promenade flanked by attractive palm trees. Today Santiago is still popular with the Spanish for their vacations but also attracts tourists from all over Europe and although it has a modern air, it has still maintained its ‘fishing village’ atmosphere. It has a good selection of shops, bars and restaurants. Santiago de la Ribera boasts a popular water-sports centre and sailing club so with its superb safe beaches, sailing, water skiing, boat hire, wind surfing, fishing, cycling, a sports centre, and scuba diving ..... Its a great place to visit ..... LO PAGAN Lo Pagan, near San Pedro del Pinatar, is a 20 minute drive and a visit is a must to take in the famous mud baths which has been renowned from early times for its healing powers. Get dirty ... by applying the mud all over the body and then dry out in the sun before washing off in the salt waters. The kids will love it! RODA GOLF COURSE ----------------------------------- The course is an excellent 18-hole, par 72 golf course designed by Dave Thomas, who is one of the most prestigious European golf designers. Probably best known for the Brabazon course at The Belfry, near Birmingham, where the Ryder Cup has been held on many occasions. The landscape has been cleverly shaped into an interesting and undulating golf terrain, that provides an interesting and challenging test. It has 3 lakes, with the 7th green on an island in the middle of one of them. Golfers will find Roda Golf & Beach Resort the perfect spot to put their skills into practice. With all the convenience of being able to enjoy this magnificent sport any time you wish, just a few steps from the apartment.

DO I NEED A CAR? -------------------------------- YES - car hire ESSENTIAL ad this apartment is on Phase 3 of the resort and is 2.5 km from the main entrance. Los Alcazares centre is a 4.5 km walk from the apartment and it will make all the difference if you want to play at other courses or see the beautiful scenery around the Mar Menor.
