 Condado de Alhama
is located in the Region of Murcia, in an unspoiled and privileged spot in Valle del Guardalentin,
between the Regional Parks of Sierra Espuna and Carrascoy-El Valle, to
the south of Alhama de Murcia. A strategic enclave in South-east Spain,
between Andalusia and the Valencian Community, with advanced
infrastructure: The A-7 Autovia del Mediterraneo to the north connecting
the whole Levant to southern Spain; the AP-7 toll motorway to the south,
and the new motorways currently in construction will take you within 10
minutes to the beaches of Costa Calida: Aguilas, Mazarron, La Manga and
Mar Menor. San Javier Airport, at the Mar Menor, and the new
regional International airport under construction at Corvera are just 60
and 30km respectively from Condado de Alhama. Discover the
unique natural spots on the Mediterranean, unspoilt coastline with
golden beaches and intense blue waters; or for sailing, diving, skiing,
or simply bathing in two seas, the lively Mediterranean or the calm Mar
Menor. All this is close to your new property.
The
small town of Alhama de Murcia goes back to the times of the Romans,
when people from the Ro man Empire built a watch tower to control the
passage through the Guadalentin Valley. At the beginning of the 1st
Century AD, the Romans constructed a
building for thermal -
Medicinal purposes and entertainment, taking
advantage of some natural springs located at the foot of Cerro del
Castillo. During the Moslem occupation, these springs were given their
current name, Al Hamman, which is Arabic for “the bath or thermal
baths”. The Castillo, associated with the emergence of Alhama as a
township in the 9th Century, witnessed battles between Christians and
Moors in the middle ages. Today it is this town’s mark of
identity. Undoubtedly, because of its Roman thermal springs,
its Arab baths, its castle, churches, century-old stately houses, its
gastronomy and its people, Alhama is a corner of the Region of Murcia
that must be visited, en route to an enviable heritage: El
Parque Natural de Sierra Espuna [Sierra Espuna Natural Reserve].
