What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors appreciate the unique mud baths and the opportunity to cycle along the scenic promenade between the Mediterranean and Mar Menor. The availability of nearby services adds to the convenience for families. However, some recent feedback notes the canal's muddy condition and lack of salt precipitation, which detracts from the expected visual appeal of the pink water.
"Well, as of today, the canal is still full of mud. It hasn't been cleaned. It's a real quagmire. This year, the salt hasn't even precipitated.
The first solution is to clean it of silt. Fill it with water and hire someone to inform foreigners about its use. This is essential to recover its clean, pink water and salt crystals.
The state it's in today is truly a shame."
