| The descriptive name of La Manga
(the sleeve) holds an interesting geographical layout which has become one
of the symbols that best identifies the coast of Murcia as a tourist resort:
a chain that stretches along approximately 24 km from Cabo de Palos to the
Punta del Mojón, and is the natural limit of the salt water lake
known as the Mar Menor. Originally, what is now known as La Manga del Mar
Menor was a bay open to the Mediterranean; at either end, volcanic reefs
gradually held back the sand and sediment that was dragged along by the
sea currents to form a sandy column of dunes and rock vegetation and long
beaches in contact with two seas: the Mediterranean and the Menor.
