Murcia is one of Spain's smallest autonomous communities and does not have
regional provinces with separate local governments. The entire region is
controlled from the capital Murcia and the legislative centre of Cartagena. The
region's 170km coastline is the shortest of the four mainland mediterranean
comunidads and is called the Costa Cálida (Warm Coast), which includes an
inland sea called the Mar Menor The combination of the Mar Menor and
Mediterranean Sea coastlines almost double Murcia's coastline length. The Costa
Calida covers the Murcia coastline from Aguilas to San Pedro del Pinatar. This
Costa has 13 ports of which nine have marinas suitable for visiting leisure
vessels. Two of the ports, Escombreras and Portman are unsuitable for visiting
yachts. Escombreras is an industrial port and Portman is heavily silted so that
only very shallow draft vessels can enter. The most important harbour on this
coastline is Cartagena, which is safely accessible in all weather conditions and
provides excellent shelter. Travelling east from Cartagena to Cabo de Palos it
is a rugged coastline that would be a dangerous lee shore. After rounding Cabo
de Palos and heading north there is the La Manga strip that separates the
Mediterranean Sea from an inland sea called the Mar Menor. This is the largest
salt-water inland sea in Europe being about 12 miles long and six miles wide and
it is a sailor's paradise. It can be accessed safely from the Mediterranean only
via the Canal de El Estacio. There are 11 harbours and many good anchorages in
the Mar Menor. This book provides details of all the harbours along the Costa
Calida and in the Mar Menor. It is available as a printed book or as an Ebook
on a CD. Sample pages are given below.
