The rooftop solarium is accessed via stairs from the terrace and offers magnificent views across the surrounding countryside.

Pinar de Campoverde is set on a wooded hillside eight kilometres inland with the traditional centre of the village based on the two kilometre long Avenida del Pino which runs from the main Pilar de la Horadada road to the municipal sports fields (Polideportivo) at the Río Seco. This strip has numerous bars, restaurants, shops, a weekly street market and medical centre. In the 'new' area, located to the west of the village, there is a second commercial area with a pharmacy, shops and a few bars which have stunning views across the countryside. Having been built on the side of the Rio Seco (dry river), the residential areas tend to be rather hilly and the 'old' area has very narrow footpaths in places. To the south-west of the village is the famous Rio Seco Natural Park where you can walk along the (usually dry) bed of the river. There is a spectacular gorge carved by the waters over millennia through the yellow sandstone. 15 minutes drive from Pinar de Campoverde is a four kilometre stretch of sandy beaches reaching from El Mojon to Mil Palmeras, including a small, pretty cove at Torre de la Horadada where there is also a marina. The town is situated a 20 minute drive from Murcia (San Javier) Airport and less than one hour from Alicante Airport.
