Golf
Although we are not into Golf (not yet anyway) here is some information on a few of the local courses. Unknown to many visitors is the easy access to at least five 18 hole golf courses in the Murcia region, in addition to the three courses at La Manga Club. They are all very well maintained and definitely worth visiting if, of course, your are golfer! And, not forgetting considerably less expensive than playing the La Manga Club courses.
 VILLA MARTIN
This course is as old as the North and South Courses at La Manga Club, inaugurated in 1972. Another Par 72 and 6,132 metres in length Villa Martin is internationally known and situated on the outskirts of Torrevieja. If you have the time it is worth playing to compare against the rest and because of the name!

A challenging 6,200m 18 hole course situated only a few kilometres north west of the city of Murcia.The Course was designed by Dave Thomas, who designed the West Course at La Manga Club. The Course covers an area of two 9 hole courses which both begin and end at the same point. It is a Par 72 Course with 6 lake areas and many sand traps in a natural environment with more than 20,000 trees including olive, pine and carob trees. The Club has a very pleasantly appointed Club House with Café Bar Restaurant to offer you that all important post round refreshment. More info - click on image. 
LAS RAMBLAS This 18-holer is on mountainous ground which makes the course very interesting for players who like to take a few risks. As it is very mountainous, it calls for difficult strokes.
It is worth mentioning the many trees that surround the course, and the water hazards. There are slopes all along the course and although some of them are very difficult, they make the game more attractive and interesting. More info - click on image
