The Costa Cálida (The Warm Coast) is the 250 km stretch of Mediterranean coastline of the Spanish province of Murcia. This
region has a micro-climate which features comparatively hot mean annual temperatures and a relative degree of aridity (precipitation averaging
less than 34 cm annually).
The Costa Cálida extends from El Mojón in the north near the province of Alicante, to near the municipality of Águilas in the south bordering
on the region of Almería province.
The northern end of this coastline includes the Mar Menor ("Little Sea"), a coastal saltwater lagoon which is Europe's largest. The Mar Menor
is separated from the Mediterranean by a 22km-long spit of land called La Manga, on which most of the tourism development for the region has been
constructed.
Cartagena and Mazarrón are two other important coastal towns in the region.
