Pros: We greatly enjoyed our stay at Casa Mediterraneo on the Country Club urbanizacion close to Mazarron in Murcia, south-eastern Spain. It was especially nice to wake up to sunshine almost every day. Those interested in staying in Murcia at this time of the year should be aware, however, that this is not summer and though some days were warm enough to sit outside, for most of the nearly two weeks we were there very strong winds blew and summer clothing was not appropriate, so take jumpers and warm overcoats. This area, the Costa Calida, is relatively unspoilt, which is more than can be said for places like the Mar Menor and Mojacar Playa, which are simply ghastly. The nearby urbanizacion of Camposol is also looking very faded and appears to attract expat Brits whose idea of a pleasant morning is to sit outside a pub called the Red Bull while admiring the local scenery - a petrol station! A useful supermarket, but avoid Camposol otherwise. The city of Murcia itself is very interesting with good food and great museums and there are other authentically Spanish towns nearby. The Country Club urbanizacion is well kept and has a mixture of owners, from the Netherlands, UK and France. Most were not in residence in early March so it was very peaceful, except for the occasional yappy dog. Recommended as a late winter getaway.
