From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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 (soccer) clubs from all over the world during the winter months. La Manga Cup has been staged every year since 1999.
The La Manga Strip is a strip of land 21 km long and 300 metres wide (average). La Manga means 'sleeve' and it is a strip of land which separates the Mediterranean Sea from the Mar Menor (Small Sea). It also has many hotels, shops, bars, clubs and restaurants. One of the most popular areas with young adults is the Zoco area.
La Manga has more than 40 km of Blue Flag beaches which attract a lot of water sports enthusiasts.
