Enjoy Murcia, Spain’s Many Natural Wonders

Take In The Beauty of The Parque Natural de Monte el Valle
While staying at Palatinum Golf, Spa, and Sport Resort, be sure to experience the Parque Natural de Monte el Valle, located on the outskirts of Murcia. The Parque is an abrupt landscape with marked slopes, tree-lined avenues, and ravines. It is also interesting to note that this park has 16 different flora species listed, all which are protected on a regional level. The Parque Natural de Monte el Valle is the most important natural area of Murcia and is among the four most important in Spain.

Enjoy the Beaches of Mar Menor
Murcia, Spain offers visitors some of the most beautiful beaches around, nearly all of which are located on Mar Menor, Europe’s biggest natural salt-water lagoon.

During the summer months, Mar Menor’s temperatures rise due to the shallow water and warm atmosphere, making this lagoon a hot spot for water lovers. The shallowness of this lagoon makes it the perfect location for all kinds of water sports such as windsurfing, sailing, waterskiing, and jet skiing. The salinity of Mar Menor provides a great deal of buoyancy, making it one of the safest places to swim in the world. The combination of this buoyancy and the shallowness of the lagoon make it a natural water park for people of all ages.

Take a Walk through Murcia, Spain
Palatinum Golf, Spa, and Sport Resort is set within the Murcia Mountains offering all guests a magnificent setting to take in. The Murcia Mountains also offer guests miles of nature trails for walking, hiking, and horse riding. Most trails have predominantly well prepared and maintained tracks and paths, while some trails even start at various levels of the mountain so you don’t have to start at the bottom to see the breathtaking views from the top.

Caves to Explore
Why not explore a few caves on your visit? The Cave of El Puerto and The Cave of Monigotes are particularly spectacular locations and contain cave paintings in a multitude of shapes and hues. They contain many impressive stalagmites and stalactites as well. Guided tours are available in some of the caves.
