La Manga Tourist Attractions

La Manga del Mar Menor (The Sleeve of the Minor Sea) is a resort town in Murcia, Spain. It should not be confused with the nearby La Manga Club resort, known for hosting numerous football clubs from all over the world during the winter months for the La Manga Cup, which has been staged every year since 1999.

The La Manga Strip is a 19km strip of land, which averages just 100 metres wide separates the Mediterranean Sea from the Mar Menor.

La Manga boasts many hotels, shops, bars, clubs and restaurants, with one of the most popular areas with young adults being the 'Zoco' area.

Originally, what is now known as La Manga del Mar Menor was a bay open to the Mediterranean; at either end, volcanic reefs gradually held back the sand and sediment that was dragged along by the sea currents to form a sandy column of dunes and rock vegetation and long beaches in contact with two seas: the Mediterranean and the Menor.

La Manga is very attractive to tourists with its sailing ports, sailing schools, recreational centres, supermarkets, shops, bars and discos.
