Calblanque, where La Manga Club is located, was declared a natural park in 1987 and a nature reserve in 1992. This assures protection from encroachment and development, therefore it is one of the last remaining untouched areas of the entire Mediterranean coastline.
The National Park is an incredible untainted strip of Mediterranean coastline, comprising of sandy beaches, sand dunes, tiny coves, beautiful cliffs and hills of forests. The clear, sparkling waters and golden sandy beaches welcome you to a true natural paradise and the park gives you an opportunity to view the coast of Spain as it once was.
The total length of the area is about 13 kilometers. It’s mountains overlook the beaches from about 1,000 feet high. From the tops of the hills there are amazing views across acres of pine trees, all leading the way to the sea.
Many of the salt flats are home to and breeding grounds for various species of birds and the park is famous for its variety of wildlife including eagles, woodpeckers, rare eagle-owls (known as Bonelli's eagle) and endangered sea turtles.
Calblanque is a wonderfully natural area blooming with beauty and tranquility.
