Ghost town it definitely is not. 10 minutes drive to some of the best unspoilt coastline in Spain. 10 minutes drive to two major golf courses and then, of course you have the beautiful Port of Puerto de Mazarron just 15 minutes away and the Sierra Espuna National Park very close by. The perimeter of MCC is quite arid yes especially where there isn't any irrigation, but the villas on the Country Club all have beautiful colourful Mediterranean gardens. 😊
