There are good motorway and regional road connections to Murcia, the coast and the rest of Spain.

During the warmer months, the water temperature rises to around 32 degrees, and heating is available for cooler periods. The filtration system, pool-cleaning robot and other equipment are included.

Next to the pool is a practical outbuilding with a washing machine, toilet and changing room, so you do not have to go inside while still wet after swimming.

This outdoor space makes the property particularly well suited to anyone who enjoys outdoor living, entertaining guests or sharing the Spanish lifestyle with family and friends.
