THE AREA THE MAR MENOR In 1994 the Mar Menor was included on the Ramsar Convention list for the conservation and sustainable utilisation of wetlands. It is also part of a Specially Protected Area of Mediterranean Importance and is a Special Protection Area (ZEPA in Spanish) for bird life. In 2022, Spanish lawmakers granted extra protection rights, making it the first case of an ecosystem protected by rights of nature in Europe. The Mar Menor is now legally represented by a group of citizens, scientists and officials. Spain's unique protected Mar Menor LA MANGA La Manga strip (translating to 'The Sleeve') is 21km long and 100 metres wide on average, separating the Mediterranean from the Mar Menor (Minor Sea) lagoon. Originally, it was a bay opening into 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. La Manga sandbar is cut off by natural channels that keep the two seas in contact with each other; the so-called golas allow water from the Mediterranean into the lake. As such, the space was untouched until the 1960s, when La Manga was discovered and developed as a luxury resort. It now consists of five islands and, having shallow protected waters, lends itself to being an international water-based sports hub. There are sailing, water-skiing, windsurfing, canoeing and catamaran schools aplenty. Nearby is La Manga Stadium, known for hosting numerous football clubs from all over the world during the winter months.
