El Pinar de San Gines is nestled into the hillside, less than 500 metres from the unspoilt beach at La Azohia, with views over the bay of Mazarron. It is in the southern Costa Calida region of Spain, 10 minutes from Puerto de Mazarron and 20 from Cartagena.

La Azohia itself is situated in a beautiful bay sheltered by surrounding hills and provides great diving, snorkelling, sailing, windsurfing and fishing. The beach stretches around most of the bay and slopes gently into crystal clear waters. This is a typical tranquil fishing village with a scattering of cafes, tapas bars and restaurants and remains largely untouched by tourism.
 

For the more active, historical Cartagena is only 20 minutes away over the hills. In La Azohia there are at least 3 dive centres, fishing, sailing, windsurfing,other watersports and areas for walking and cycling.
Nearby (within half an hour) there are plenty of opportunities for golf, all manner of other water sports, tennis, cycling and walking.
There are water parks within an hours drive, numerous beaches along with several National Parks. At Cartagena there is the harbour, the Maritime museum, open top bus rides,shopping and boat trips. Murcia City is around 1 hour away (very hot in summer).

The apartment at El Pinar has been thoughtfully furnished and is ideal for a relaxing break by the pool, or the nearby beach where we have found the water very pleasant from April to October.
Situated on the first floor, it has a fabulous private roof terrace, which covers the entire apartment below, and is furnished with sunbeds, table, chairs and barbecue, accessed from the living area balcony.

The kitchen is bright and well equipped and the dining table can seat 6 comfortably. There are 2 bedrooms, one double and one double with a single over (fun for kids also suitable for a couple).Both with large built in wardrobes.
There is a well-presented bathroom with bath/shower and bidet.

The apartment benefits from hot and cold air conditioning and entertainment is provided by the television and sound system, DVDs, cds, books and games are on hand for your enjoyment. Children are always welcome and a cot and highchair are provided.

The complex is new (opened June 05) with other phases being finished .

If you have a large party or 2 families our other apartment N166 , villarenters 23378, is nearby on the same complex.

To summarise, the apartment is ideal for families or a couple or 2, active or otherwise. If you are a party animal this is not for you! There are no tour operators in the area. Most property in the area is holiday homes owned by Spaniards.
We strongly recommend hiring a car, although collection from the airports can be arranged. If required, we can suggest car hire and airline websites.
