Apartments and houses in Cartagena – new-build property from developers
Cartagena is a large municipality on the Costa Cálida, in the Region of Murcia. The historic port city lies on the open sea, but new-build property in this municipality is mainly being built near the Mar Menor – around Los Belones, at the entrance to La Manga and close to Cabo de Palos. It is a quiet area with golf courses, close to the unspoilt beaches of the Calblanque park and the narrow strip of La Manga del Mar Menor between the lagoon and the sea. The climate is mild all year round. Alicante-Elche Airport is approx. 124 km away – about 90–105 minutes by car, depending on route and traffic. Murcia (Corvera) Airport is closer – approx. 48 km, about 30–35 minutes by car.
