Torre De La Horadada is a small authentic Spanish village on the waterfront. There are many choices of lovely white sand beaches in the area and plenty of walking areas.

It has a large village square, a church, a quaint marina, and a long promenade that joins the beaches of El Mojón to the south and Mil Palmeras to the north.

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 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; and 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. (Transfers about 15 EUR one way to be split between 1 -6 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 excellent nightlife, which is mostly around the university area, and also has good shopping opportunities with plenty of fashion boutiques and interior 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 1 - 6 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 specialties, 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 1 - 6 people, 40 minutes taxi ride one-way).
Hiking
There are many different hiking routes: coastline walks, natural parks, and reserves. Visit places like Cabo de Palos. Walk around the Mar Menor. Extra cost for transfers
SUP boarding or kayaking (summer and spring only)
Available in the Mar Menor Natural Park Area or Cabo Roig.
Visit Granada
The Alhambra, in pace with its history, has become the destination of many tourists and probably the best treasure of the city of Granada. 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 a destination chosen by millions of people worldwide will lead you to rethink its value in a global world subjected to multiple stresses. The Alhambra has lived, is living, and will continue living, thus making the heritage maxim possible as an evolutionary concept not anchored in time. Today the Alhambra will be a part of you because it is yours and everyone's (3-hour bus ride about 25 EUR).
