The Mud from the Mar Menor

The latest analysis by the University of Murcia (1995 study) found that these sediments contain a high percentage of cations, calcium, magnesium, potassium and fluorine and chlorine and sulfate, much higher than expected, even in this salinity waters.
In addition, the medical grain in this area are high levels of fine and very fine sand (silt and clay), which are the real players in the healing properties attributed to the sludge. The PH is basic and is between 7,12 and 8,45 values?.

Routes
Nature Reserve – (The salt flats of San Pedro del Pinatar):
The salt flats of San Pedro del Pinatar are the most important wetland habitat throughout the region. They have therefore been declared a regional park in 1985.
Nest here every year, flocks of flamingos and other migratory birds that make this natural area stopover on their journey between Africa and Europe. The Regional Park of the Salinas de San Pedro is located on the Mediterranean coast, unique landscape in which you can make at short distances morphological conditions: salt flats, salt lakes, reed beds, beaches, “encanizadas” (the Mar Menor has always been for fishing own set system, the reaching out of the Mediterranean into the lagoon fish are caught in this labyrinth created from wood and reeds) and grown on sand pine forests.
Around the Mar Menor
A bike ride around the Mar Menor, on paths, dirt roads, and even by a former trail of sheep, which always run on the waterfront is a good opportunity to discover this unique coastal area.
Unfortunately – or fortunately – runs the shores of the Mar Menor are not consecutive. In the “encanizadas”, the traps made of wood and reeds woven, in the extreme north of La Manga, the beach is interrupted by several water channels, which do not allow a continuous itinerary around the Mar Menor.
