We Teach Yoga around the Sierra Espuña Regional Park in Murcia
The Sierra Espuña Regional Park is situated right in the centre of the Spanish region of Murcia between the ancient port of Cartagena and the holy town of Caravaca de la Cruz. With over 1,000 different plant species including black pines, gall oaks & juniper its very green, but there is more to this region than flora, the place is alive with animals too! Spanish ecologists have identified 8 local types of amphibians, 17 types of reptiles & 38 mammal varieties including badgers, bobcats and Wild boars. Keeping all these land animals company, there is an even larger group of 123 bird varieties. The diversity of bird life has earnt the park a Special Protected Area (SPA) status, if you are lucky you will see amongst other things tawny owls, booted eagles and golden eagles.
As you would expect for souther Spain the area offers a fabulous Mediterranean climate, an average annual temperature of 18ºC, hot summers (up to 40ºC max) and mild winters (on average 11ºC in December and January).
The coastal area surrounding the Sierra Espuña Regional Park boasts some of the finest beaches in Spain, outside of August which is peak season this untouched area is really quiet (except during the colourful fiestas of course!)
