For those looking to relocate to Spain or find a second home in the sun, Camposol, a sizable urbanization located in a valley of the Murcia region, has a lot to offer. Not to mention the stunning countryside, 300 days of sunshine per year, warm summers, mild winters, and convenience of having everything you need right outside your door, including stores, banks, healthcare facilities, and social and recreational clubs. However, there is a lot to see and do in the region of Murcia, which is only an hour away and boasts a wealth of natural beauty, cultural attractions, and recreational activities. Here is a brief summary of the available options.
Beaches
Just ten minutes’ drive from Camposol, the coast at Mazarron offers a variety of beaches to choose from, from broad sandy beaches to tiny bays. As a result of being shielded from Atlantic currents, this section of the coast has slightly warmer water than the open Mediterranean. This makes the beach accessible and usable for much of the year, with water temperatures never falling below 14 degrees Celsius, in combination with warm temperatures all year long.
Boat trips and Diving
From Mazarron, you can take a boat trip along the coast to enjoy the beautiful scenery and perhaps even see some dolphins. Divers are drawn to this area because of the breathtaking underwater environment. Numerous dive sites are home to a wide variety of marine life, such as swordfish, octopus, sea horses, barracuda, and conger eels, to name a few.
Horse Riding
A fantastic way to experience the countryside, the area has a number of horseback riding facilities that can accommodate both novices and experts.
National Parks and Nature Reserves
The La Muela-Cabo Tioso National Park and the Sierra Espuna Nature Reserve are close by Camposol. Both are ideal for taking leisurely strolls through picturesque countryside.
Golf
This region is undoubtedly a golf destination that is expanding, with over thirty golf courses already present and more on the way. If you enjoy playing golf, you have a huge selection of courses to choose from.
Wineries
The wines made in the Murcia region, one of Spain’s traditional wine-producing regions, are sold all over the world. There are winery tours available, including visits and tastings with an English-speaking guide and a meal to cap off the day, with pick-up points throughout the region, including from Camposol.
