Hiking in Abanilla and Relaxation on the Costa Cálida
2-night getaway with breakfast and hiking through Río Chícamo and the Badlands. Adventure in Abanilla and relaxation by the Mar Menor.
Some getaways bring together the best of two worlds: the thrill of walking through unexpected landscapes and the pleasure of relaxing afterwards by the sea. “Hiking in Abanilla and Relaxation on the Costa Cálida” is a 2-night accommodation package designed for two people, with breakfast included and a hiking experience through one of the most unique natural areas in the Region of Murcia: Río Chícamo and the Badlands of Abanilla.
This getaway is designed for those who want to disconnect from routine without giving up movement, scenery and comfort. During the trip, you can stay in coastal areas such as San Javier, San Pedro del Pinatar or Los Alcázares, enjoying the relaxed atmosphere of the Costa Cálida, while also experiencing an active day inland, where water, earth and erosion have created a landscape full of contrasts.
Río Chícamo is one of those places that surprises you from the very first step. In a region often associated with sun, coastline and dry landscapes, finding a natural riverbed winding between walls, vegetation, rock and small stretches of water turns the route into a different kind of experience. Walking through this setting allows you to discover a more hidden, intimate and wild side of Murcia, where nature appears without artifice.
The hiking route through Río Chícamo and the Badlands invites you to walk among unusual shapes, ravines, gentle gullies and almost lunar landscapes. The Badlands, shaped by erosion over centuries, reveal an open, mineral and highly photogenic scenery, perfect for those who enjoy nature with character. Every bend in the path may offer a new perspective: ochre tones, bare slopes, ravines, silence and the feeling of crossing a truly different territory.
The activity is ideal for couples, friends or travellers looking for an active yet balanced getaway. It is not just about walking, but about living an experience where the landscape sets the pace. Hiking allows you to connect with the surroundings calmly, breathe fresh air, take photographs and let your body become active without rushing. It is a perfect option for those who want to add nature to a stay by the Mar Menor and discover a lesser-known side of the Region of Murcia.
After the activity, accommodation on the Costa Cálida offers the perfect contrast. The areas of San Javier, San Pedro del Pinatar and Los Alcázares allow you to enjoy a coastal atmosphere, peaceful walks, proximity to the sea and that Mediterranean light that invites you to slow down. After hiking in Abanilla, returning to the accommodation area and resting becomes an essential part of the experience.
Breakfast included at the chosen accommodation adds extra comfort to the getaway. Starting the day without rushing, enjoying breakfast and getting ready for the day ahead makes the trip easier and more enjoyable. The proposal is designed for two people, making it a very attractive option for a couple’s getaway, a trip with a friend or an experiential gift.
One of the main values of this getaway lies in the contrast. On one side, the inland landscape of Abanilla, with Río Chícamo, the Badlands and its dry scenery shaped by time. On the other, the Costa Cálida, with coastal relaxation, Mediterranean atmosphere and the chance to enjoy the days at a slower pace. This combination of outdoor adventure and coastal comfort makes the trip complete, varied and easy to enjoy.
The getaway is available every 3 weeks, so dates must be checked before booking. This planning makes it possible to organise the experience in advance and ensure availability for both the accommodation and the hiking activity. As this is an outdoor activity, the route may also be affected by weather conditions, the state of the terrain and the safety criteria of the organiser.
“Hiking in Abanilla and Relaxation on the Costa Cálida” is an invitation to discover the Region of Murcia from two complementary perspectives: the untouched nature of the inland area and the calm of the coast. A simple, active and Mediterranean getaway for those who want to walk, breathe, rest and return with the feeling of having experienced something different.
If you are looking for a 2-night getaway with breakfast, accommodation in a coastal area and a hiking experience through a surprising landscape, this proposal brings together adventure, relaxation and authenticity in one trip.
