The Costa Calida Story

The Costa Cálida which translates to Warm Coast is approximately 250 kilometres of coastline in the Spanish province of Murcia, where the first signs of human civilization can be traced back as far as one and a half million years. In more recent times, native Iberian tribes inhabited the coastline, trading with other Mediterranean cultures including the Greeks and Romans. However, the region was only put on the map after the arrival of the Carthaginians in 230 BC, when they founded a trading port at Cartagena.
