Urbanización La Marina

Urbanización La Marina is part of the municipality of San Fulgencio, in the province of Alicante — the municipality where MCB Costa Blanca is headquartered, which allows us to know every corner of it. Slightly set back from the coast, the area is less than half an hour's drive from Alicante airport and about 35 minutes from Murcia-San Javier airport (Corvera), while remaining only a few minutes from the Blue Flag beaches and protected pine forests of the coast.

The residential complex of Urbanización La Marina has many facilities, such as its two public outdoor swimming pools. A regular bus service that connects the residential center with nearby towns and beaches.

The weekly markets, mercadillos, take place every Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, however, the largest market is now at the Bahia de las Dunas shopping center, every Saturday. This market offers local fruits and vegetables, as well as shoes made in traditional Spanish workshops, handicrafts, clothing, leather goods and of course, a wide variety of culinary delights.

The complex also has an excellent national health centre, fitness centre as well as private doctors' offices and a selection of quality dentists.

In addition, the inhabitants have their own church, post office, several municipal offices, a social center, a tourist office, the doctor's office, pharmacies and the headquarters of the municipal police.

Visitors will find a cosmopolitan atmosphere and a multitude of services. There is no shortage of local shops, banks, shops, supermarkets, shops and various shops, craftsmen, etc. The area has a wide variety of bars and restaurants to enjoy a choice of Spanish or international cuisine.

Urbanización La Marina boasts some interesting nightlife with venues featuring live music, where you can enjoy a glass of sangria while enjoying the beautiful live music while watching beautiful sunsets.

Nicknamed "Little Europe", La Marina developed from the 1980s onwards around a large British community, which over time became the largest English-speaking community outside the United Kingdom. It has since welcomed German, Irish, Scottish, Scandinavian and, increasingly, French residents. The area now has more than 10,000 year-round inhabitants, a figure that exceeds 17,000 in summer, about 80% of whom are European residents. Public swimming pools, regular shuttles to nearby towns and beaches, and the immediate vicinity of the La Marquesa golf course (Ciudad Quesada) complete a living infrastructure designed for a long-term international clientele.

The area benefits from an exceptional coastal landscape that is attractive to tourists. The natural environment combines large stretches of beach and spectacular dune ridges, the conditions are perfect for flora and fauna, which exist here in abundance. The area is a paradise for nature lovers.

The many trails give hikers or amateur cyclists the opportunity to enjoy the countryside. Between the paths, the vegetable gardens, the cereal fields, the orange orchards and the plantations of different species, the walker will have the opportunity to discover the flavors and scents of this land.

Nearby, four kilometers, you can enjoy the beaches with thousands of golden sand dunes and pine forest, of particular ecological interest.

The nearby La Marina beach stretches for some 17 km from Santa Pola to Torrevieja. Equipped with the Blue Flag and maritime surveillance, you can rent deckchairs and parasols. You will have the opportunity to practice water sports, thanks to a reserved area optimized for them. The large car parks are connected to the beaches by wooden walkways.

Not far away, an Internacional La Marina campsite, one of the best in the Spanish Mediterranean and two hotels.

The market in La Marina stands out for its maturity: bungalows, villas and terraced houses form an already well-established residential park, with an active resale market alongside some new opportunities. It is a sector particularly suitable for buyers who are looking for an international community already in place, where English (and increasingly French) circulates as naturally as Spanish, with a highly developed social and associative life. Rental demand remains strong all year round, driven both by a large resident population and by a well-established tourist attendance for four decades — a profile that complements that of El Raso, which is more oriented towards a quiet family residence.
