Salt Mills of Mar Menor

Highlight • Monument

At the end of the Manga we will find several salt mills such as the one in Veneziola or the No. 168 that were used to grind salt.

The place is very quiet and ideal for contemplating the splendid views of the sea. Nearby we can visit the Bridge of Laughter that will give us a beautiful picture.

Puente de la Risa

Highlight • Bridge

The renowned businessman Tomás Maestre, a driving force behind the development of La Manga, had the idea of creating a development inspired by Venice on the Murcian coast. One of the few examples that still remain from that original project is the beautiful and peculiar Bridge of Laughter.

Although its steep slope can be somewhat uncomfortable, its unique design makes it stand out more for its beauty than its functionality.

Ensenada del Esparto Beach

Highlight • Beach

Beautiful sandy beach in La Manga. Spacious and with a very pleasant atmosphere, it has one drawback and that is that it is quickly shaded by the buildings behind it. In any case, it is a nice place even to visit it out of season.

Marchamalo Salt Flats

Highlight • Natural Monument

This protected space has a rich history regarding the production of salt ("white gold") that marked an era in the area of Cartagena and the Mar Menor.
At the end of the 19th century, the salt industry was established, which over the years lost momentum due to low productivity and became a mainly tourist area with a real estate boom.
Today it is a beautiful place to visit and tour where you can still appreciate some constructions from the salt era and also spot native birds.

The Mar Menor

Highlight • Lake

Top location, not just as a place to swim, there are beautiful views here. Just take a short stop and take in the wonderful perspectives.

The Mar Menor, Spanish for "Little Sea", is actually a saltwater lagoon. The "Little Sea", known for its warm and shallow water, is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike and offers a variety of beaches along its coast. A very beautiful and worthwhile destination for a bike tour.
