| 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.
