About Torre Pacheco
Torre Pacheco is an inland municipality in the flat agricultural plain between Murcia city and the Mar Menor. The main town is a working Spanish agricultural centre, while several purpose-built golf and residential urbanisations — including the Mar Menor Golf Resort — sit within the same municipality.
It has no coastline of its own, but the western shore of the Mar Menor and the beaches at Los Alcázares are only 15–20 minutes away by car. That combination of inland prices with coastal access is the main reason buyers look here.
For British relocation planners, Torre Pacheco suits those who want a golf or resort-base lifestyle close to the coast without paying seafront prices. It has a Renfe station on the Murcia–Cartagena line, which is more than most Costa Cálida coastal towns can offer.
