Venice Ruffs

In the 1970s, Tomás Maestre had the idea of creating a little residential Venice in the North part of La Manga by making artificial canals in an area of old salt flats. These waterway canals, suitable for small boats, are connected to Mar Menor and Encañizadas area.

 

Although the idea of Tomás Maestre was never fully carried out, there are some ruffs and a Venice-like bridge known as Puente de la Risa (bridge of laughter).
