A GOLFERS PARADISE

Mosa Trajectum

The Orihuela Costa area is fast becoming Spains south-east capital for excellent golfing facilities with new courses and resorts being added yearly and more under construction. There are 5 in the immediate area, within a 10 to 25 minute drive, namely: Campoamor, Las Ramblas, Villamartin, La Finca, and La Marguesa. Slighly further away but still within a short drive you will find La Manga, the new Mosa Trajectum resort, Alenda Golf Club, Roda, La Serena, La Torre, and many more. All have excellent facilities and can be enjoyed by golfers of all standards and handicaps. See Links page for details

The terrace bar/restaurant at Campoamor (above)  is worth visiting, even if you dont play golf.

Unlike the Costa Del Sol, greenfees here are still very reasonable, ranging from 43euro for a challenging course like Las Ramblas to 70euro for the fabulous La Finca course, rumoured to be shortly hosting a Spanish Open. Buggy and club hire is also very reasonable.

TOP UP YOUR TAN

Decisions! Decisions!    Will I laze by the pool or relax on the beach ?
Either way you can enjoy on average 330 days sunshine a year on the Costa Blanca. With a choice of 3 blue flag beaches within walking distance. or the fabulous pool and sun terrace in the Costamarina complex, you have no excuse for not going home with a healthy glow.
Have a snack from Bar Med on the terrace, or your lunch on the large balcony in the apartment which overlooks the pool.
If it gets too hot, take a stroll along part of the 15km coastal path from Campoamaor to Playa Flamenca. Stop off for a glass of sangria or a beer in one of the beach bars and take life easy. You can even de-stress with a 40 minute Thai Massage on your sunlounger at La Zenia beach for 20 euro.
Life can be so tough!

Due to almost year round high temperatures (avg. 20 degrees C) with low annual rainfall, and the unique micro-climate created by the proximity of 2 vast salt lakes south of Torrevieja, the World Health Organisation has declared this area to be one of the healthiest places in the world to live, making it  an ideal winter and summer holiday choice for anyone with asthma, arthritis or rheumatism.
It is also a perfect sunshine location during the long cold and bleak winter months endured by all who live in north and west European counties.
