A WORD ABOUT LOCAL AREA
This former old fishing village has got very fine sandy beaches and is located just on the border of the natural reserve of Las Salinas and Arenales de San Pedro. That gives a plenty of opportunities for walking tours along the sea on the natural beach with a "North Sea Dunes" or along the salt ponds to explore bird sanctuary with pink flamingos and other rare birds. If you dream of tranquillity, stunning wide well-kept, safe beaches, good food and beautiful scenery that is undoubtedly place for you. The neighbourhood is a quiet area, all with low housing.
Apartment and surrounding area is perfectly suited for quiet and relaxing family time. Close distance to local restaurants, pub, local shop, beach bars and stalls. In walking distance from the house there is Pinatar Area (Sport Health Centre) with gym, spa and pools. As a curiosity, especially for football lovers this football centre hosts big European Football Clubs for pre-season preparation camp.
This beautiful and unique area of Spain is quite unknown to many people, and perhaps Spain's best kept secret, with the beautiful varied landscapes with almond trees, orange groves, palm trees and especially pleasant climate.

Approximately 10 minutes drive from El Mojón to the south there is Lo Pagan, a famous place for its therapeutic salt mud baths which are open to public and absolutely free of charge as well as Mar Menor "the world's largest pool" and place of all kinds of water sports. Calm, very warm and shallow water of Mar Menor makes it perfect for children and as an option for days when waves on the Mediterranean sea become too dangerous.
