Due to the good microclimate and the high salt content (salt is extracted just outside Lo Pagan) it is one of the healthiest areas in the whole world.
Lo Pagan is known for its therapeutic mud baths in the Mar Menor’s warm water. Here you can cover your body with mud from one of the salt lakes. Due to the presence of calcium, salt, iodine and magnesium, it has a medicinal effect. The skin feels refreshing after washing the mud off. There is free admission - so a must try.
Along the beach runs a 6 km long promenade, from the military academy I Santiago de la Ribera to the nature reserve San Pedro de Pinatar, where the flamingos live. Flamingos also quite often come to visit when mud bathing
In the centre of Lo Pagán you will find cozy bars, beach bars, wonderful restaurants, and lovely local shops.
