Location
Located at the South East corner of the Iberian Peninsula, between the regions of, Andalusia, Castile-La Mancha and Valencia, the region of Murcia occupies an area of 11,317 km2 (2.2% of the total surface area of Spain), bordering the province of Albacete in the North, the province of Alicante in the East, the provinces of Granada, Albacete and Almera in the West, and the Mediterranean in the South-East.
Location
From the geographical point of view, the region of Murcia stands out because of its multiple contrasts: dry vs. irrigated land, plains vs. mountainous areas, coastline vs. interior, vineyards vs. mesetas, factors which can no doubt be attributed to its location in a transitional area between the Sub-Baetic mountain range and the northern Sub-Meseta.
Climate
Murcia has just over 170 km of coastline: coves and small beaches alternate with rocky shores and sheer, craggy cliffs. As a geographical accident of nature we find La Manga, a coastal strip of land which, bar a few connecting channels, or narrows, completely closes off the Mar Menor lagoon from the Mediterranean. Murcia has the typical Mediterranean semi-arid subtropical climate: namely an average annual temperature of 18C, with hot summers and mild winters. The number of days per year with clear skies is 120-150, with approximately 2,800 sun-hours per annum.
Communications
The Region of Murcia enjoys excellent links with the rest of Spain through a full communications network. Investments carried out on the improvement and amplification of the road network, destined in particular to the construction of motorways, have made it possible to enhance links between the different townships within the region and at the same time to guarantee fluid, agile contact with the rest of Spain. The railway network, with the imminent incorporation of the high speed train (AVE) connecting Murcia with Madrid and the Valencia region, and the project for a new regional airport equipped with state-of-the-art national and international air transport infrastructures, are two important elements of economic dynamisation for the area, constituting tangible proof of the intention to undertake touristic and commercial development at a level able to satisfy both the demands of the internal and the external markets.
