possible that are famous too. The area arround the Mar Menor was
involved into the national tourism many years ago, now more and more
foreign tourists are seeking this area too. There are several typical

buildings. Surrounding these towns are original and untouched landscape.

mountains that reach down to the coastline itself. The main towns are
Vera with Vera Playa, Garrucha, Mojacar Pueblo with Mojacar Playa and
Almeria. The area is served by the Murcia airport and the Almeria
