It starts by explaining the history of the industry, from the 1960’s through to the credit crunch and collapse of the market in the late 2000’s paying special attention to the developer ‘Polaris World’. It explains the fall out from the crash and the ecological damage to the Mar Menor before looking at the region's recovery. The video ends by reflecting on the region as it is today. In the video we visit various locations in Murcia, including the cities of Cartagena and Murcia, The Mar Menor, La Manga, La Manga Club, La Torre Golf Resort, Alatona Golf, Mosa Trajectum, Corvera Golf, Roda Golf, Hacienda Riquelme, Condado de Alhama and Mar Menor Golf Resort as well as rural locations such as Jumilla, and the Sierra Espuna and coastal towns like Mazarron, La Azohia and Bolnuevo.
