La Manga, Coastal settlement in Murcia, Spain.
La Manga extends for 21 kilometers between the Mediterranean Sea and Mar Menor lagoon, creating two distinct shorelines with different water conditions.
The Spanish monarchy ordered the removal of dense vegetation in the 16th century to prevent Barbary pirates from using the area as a hiding place.
Marine sports shape the local identity, with sailing competitions, windsurfing tournaments, and diving activities taking place throughout the calendar year.
The settlement features numerous access points to both the Mediterranean Sea and Mar Menor, with designated swimming areas and water sport facilities.
Natural channels called golas connect the Mediterranean Sea to Mar Menor, creating a water exchange system that maintains the ecological balance of both bodies.
