Costa Cálida

The Costa Cálida (Spanish: [ˈkosta ˈkaliða], "Warm Coast") is the approximately 250 km stretch of Mediterranean coastline of the Spanish province of Murcia. This region has a micro-climate which features comparatively hot mean annual temperatures (and hence its name, "Warm Coast") and a quite notable degree of aridity (precipitation averaging less than 310 millimeters annually), scoring a semidesert category and in the southern parts even desert status in Koppen classification.
