Mosa Trajectum - Location

Located just 15 minutes from the beach at the Mar Menor and 15 minutes from the centre of the vibrant, historical city of Murcia.

Travelling by car
For those few who travel to Spain by car, follow the usual rout through France to the Spanish border. You enter Spain from Perpignan (Fr) on the E15. Stay on the E15 and follow it further in the direction Girona (also indicated as A7), Barcelona (A7), Tarragona (A7) Valencia (A7), Alicante (A7). The AP7 is the new toll road, which is quicker. Try and use that one if you can. From Alicante follow the A7 (A30) in the direction Murcia. Drive through Mucia on the A30, following the sign for Cartagena. Stay on the road another 10km through the hills. Then look for the exit highway C3319 on the right, just after the Banos y Mendigo exit. This is after the mountain part of the road, which lasts 5 mins. It's easy - one road. Take this exit marked “San Javier / aeropuerto”, the C3319. Follow it round to right and then left back over the expressway and just after the slip road to go back on to the expressway you will see the first exit names 'Mosa Trajectum/Ventas'. Take this exit from the C3319 and follow the service road to the roundabout. Go round the roundabout and exit right, under the C3319 to Mosa. Just look for the “Mosa Trajectum” entrance ahead. You enter the resort under a replica of the Sint Servaasbridge (Dutch city Maastricht). The distance from Calais amounts to approx. 1950 km. The cost from UK is around €100 in tolls, and it takes 24 hours in the car. A stop at the south of France is suggested. We usually stay in Ceret, just at the last toll gate before Spain. Leaving from London, you will have been driving, including the UK part and the Eurotunnel, for about 16 hours by the time you reach the south of France. Staying the night in the south of France leaves 7 hours the next morning down to the villa.

Climate
The region between Alicante and Murcia (the southern part of the Costa Blanca and the northern part of the Costa Calida) is part of the "Mediterranean zone", a small paradise of mild temperatures. The hilly hinterland protects this area against the wind of the Meseta, through which the temperatures are the entire year pleasant to name: in wintertime about 16 until 22 degrees Celcius and in summertime not too warm with a temperature of about 30 degrees Celcius. Besides the sun shines more than 300 days per year (2700 and 3000 annual hours of sunshine) and the humidity is very low. This results in a perfect combination of sea, subtropical climate, many light and clean air. On top of this the presence of salt lakes and stretches of pinewoods add to the healthy surroundings. All these elements together have an amasingly favorable effect on your health. Complaints as consequence of rheumatism, gout or lung trouble can decrease substantially through the climatic influence of this region. In short, here you will find the best and healthiest climate of Spain. Recently the World Healths Organization (WHO) declared the province of Murcia having the cleanest air in Europe. Excellent.

Beaches
Along the coast of the Costa Calida are many beautiful beaches, both naturally as artificial constructed. They are considerable calmer than the beaches along the northern situated Costa Blanca and the southern situated Costa del Sol.
