Sightseeing
Slowly gentrifying seaside mining village, Some nice coffee shops and fab fish restaurants (high season) overlooking the beach, with gentle waves that are good for SUPping. Rockpools for snorkelling, dramatic cliffs... and black sands!

City advice
Getting around
Murcia Corvera Airport
A much more convenient airport for LMC than Alicante (~30mins drive)... NB there's less flight availability, especially in low season
