This glorious stretch of coastline is very accessible, within easy reach of both Murcia and Alicante airports.

La Zenia is one of these and is said to be home to the best beaches in the area, and of course La Zenia Boulavard, a mecca of retail therapy that attracts visitors from across the region. With loads more popular spots within reach like Torrevieja, La Florida and Punto Prima there is something for everyone around here.
