Fun fact: Why are the Salinas pink?
The color of the Pink Lake is due, in origin, to a small microscopic algae (Dunaliella salina) rich in carotenes, as well as to other microorganisms that develop this pink color in salt-saturated waters, which protects them from solar radiation. In turn, a small invertebrate crustacean, called Artemia salina, feeds on these algae and, consequently, acquires its pink color, which is later reflected in some areas of the flamingo’s plumage because this tiny crustacean is part of their diet.

San Pedro Market
One of the best ways of exploring and enjoying Alicante and the surrounding province is to visit the street markets. There you will find not only local products, such as the local pastries, fresh Mediterranean fruit and vegetables or something authentically Spanish like empanadillas. These street markets and flea markets are also there for you to get lost in; to discover bargains in used or second-hand objects; to be enticed by a multitude of vintage items that are now difficult to find.
Immerse yourself in this welter of bargains and discoveries that these markets have to offer. Transfer is about 15 EUR one-way to be split between one to six people.
Las Charcas in San Pedro del Pinatar (healing mud baths in nature)
The famous mud from the Mar Menor has made Murcia an important destination for health and beauty tourism. Nevertheless, this region in southeastern Spain also has a wealth of mineral-rich, medicinal waters in inland areas. In the town of Archena, 25 kilometers from the city of Murcia, you will find a good example. Its spa resort boasts having been Spain's most popular thermal center at the end of the 19th century; it continues to be a renowned complex to this day.
It is set in the fertile Ricote Valley, an area of countryside irrigated by the Segura River, with interesting contrasts of landscape: palm groves, orange, and a variety of fruit trees are flanked by arid-looking mountains. The result is a unique, peaceful setting that is ideal for rest and relaxation. Transfers Included in your package.
Rent a bike
Alicante possesses an extraordinary cultural, natural, and ethnographic richness. The best way to get to know the places and people which constitute these hidden and wonderful landscapes of the Iberian Southeast is by hiking or cycling.
Flamenco dinner and night out in MURCIA
Murcia highly values the customs of traditional life, including paseo, tapas, and plazas. With about half a million inhabitants, Murcia has an excellent nightlife, which is mostly around the university area and also has good shopping opportunities with plenty of fashion boutiques and interiors stores. You will have the opportunity to see a live performance in a flamenco bar while having dinner or just spending some time shopping or walking around. Transfers about 60 EUR each way to split between your group of one to six people, 40 minutes taxi ride one-way.
Cartagena
If you’re looking for reasons to visit Cartagena, Spain, then you really don’t have to look far. As the second-largest city in southeastern Spain’s underrated Murcia region, Cartagena doesn’t get nearly the amount of attention it deserves, and this is a real shame. Packing in everything from a classic Spanish charm, perennially beautiful weather, local gastronomic specialities and incredible history, Cartagena has so much to offer and should definitely make it onto your next Spain itinerary.
Cartagena, Spain, is a dynamic and multifaceted city that is situated on Murcia’s Costa Cálida. It is also the perfect place to visit if you’re looking to avoid tourist crowds and have a relaxing and stress-free visit to Spain. With plenty of outdoor activities, historic sites and delicious food to be had, Cartagena really checks all the boxes for a perfect Spanish holiday destination! Transfers about 60 EUR each way to split between your group of 1–6 people, 40 minutes taxi ride one-way.

To enjoy the beauty of the palatine chambers, the scents of the courtyards and gardens, the games of light and color of the richly decorated halls, and the impressive views of the Albaycin, and the Vega constitutes a privilege for your senses.
A place for cultural meetings and the destination chosen by millions of people worldwide will lead you to rethink its value in a global world subjected to multiple stresses.
