History of La Manga Club |
18th January 2008 |
|
|
|
 La Manga Club has functioned as a top quality holiday resort since its initiation more than thirty years ago.
The resort was born out of the hard work and vision of US entrepreneur Gregory Peters in the 1960s.
La Manga had already begun development as a resort during this time when Mr Peters saw its potential and began to make a number of property purchases on the Mar Menor coastline.
His initial project concerned developing a high-level tourist attraction golf course in the region and before long, 450 hectares of land became the La Manga Golf Course.

 Spain is well known for its attraction as a beach holiday destination. In fact, it was recently reported by Property-Abroad's Les Calvert that Spain is one of the top holiday destinations for Britons.

Sport is another reason Britons take Spanish holidays.

 Among the delights of a Spanish family holiday is the chance for everyone to enjoy leisure activities and soak up the sunshine at the same time. And one of the best things about jetting off to La Manga Club is the chance to get children excited about sport and physical activities, which provide both fun and fitness.
In fact, Cancer Research has found that people's attitudes towards body weight can stem from their habits at a very young age - meaning exercise and healthy living may be more important than ever. The charity suggests engaging in activities and sports as a family can really encourage children to be healthier in later life.

 The world famous Spike's Bar in La Manga has been fully refurbished and is back better than ever! However, don't go to Hyatt Hotel if you're looking for some top entertainment, as Spike's Bar has moved and is now enjoying its new home in La Plaza (to the right of Mulligans).

 Spain is well known for its many tasty contributions to the global cookbook.
Among the traditional epicurean delights available to those enjoying luxury holidays in Spain are paella, chorizo, Manchego cheese, olives, empanadas, turron, paprika, patatas bravas, rioja wine and of course lots of seafood.
Those who have been on family holidays to Murcia will already be aware that the cuisine in this region of Spain is second to none - however, they may not be aware that much of what they have eaten in Murcia has strong associations with the south-eastern region of Spain.
Paprika, capers, cheese, rice and apricots all have a distinct link with Murcia - Market Uno notes that capers have been a crucial part of Murcian cooking since the 16th century.

 So you've decided to take a luxury break in the five-star resort of la Manga - home to world-class golf courses, the finest outdoor tennis courts in Spain, gourmet restaurants and exciting night-life.
But la Manga is more than a resort - it's also a base from which you can explore the beautiful Spanish countryside and the culture of Murcia, in which the holiday complex is nestled.
Murcia lies in the south-east of Spain, and the provinces of Andalusia, Castilla-la-Mancha and Valencia are close neighbours.
La Manga itself is situated on a prospect of land from which the resort takes its name - literally "the sleeve" - and which divides the Mediterranean from the Mar Menor lagoon.
