Too many developers these days take "front-line" to mean anything within a mile of the shore, and "5 minutes to the beach" often supposes that you have a helicopter at your disposal! But our Plaza del Mar apartments, in the small village of Isla Plana, are just 20 yards from the little cove which separates the village from the promontory on which the local church has stood for centuries.

Add to this the clear water which makes the Bay of Mazarrón so popular among scuba divers, the mountain backdrop, the stunning views, the recently remodeled promenade which runs 5 miles to the neighbouring village of La Azohía, and you can understand our enthusiasm for these properties!

All the village amenities are in easy walking distance, not least of them being the Social Club just 30 yards away. Sit out on the terrace and enjoy the traditional tapas- seafood to the fore of course!- in the quiet relaxed settings of this ever popular meeting point for locals and expats alike.

And this unspoilt part of the Costa Cálida coastline is now easier than ever to reach, just a 35-minute drive from Murcia' s low-cost San Javier airport.
