The Albergue Coto Real de la Marina is an old but fully restored forest house in the mountains of Sierra de Burete in Cehegín (Murcia), standing in one of the most important forested areas in the north-west of the Region of Murcia. It can sleep up to 30 guests in five bedrooms and dormitories, two of them containing twelve bunk beds each and the rest with twin beds.
The hostel is surrounded by the rich bio-diversity of the Aleppo pine woods, where there are numerous birds of prey, and this was one of the reasons for the Sierra de Burete being declared a special birdlife protection zone (ZEPA) within the Natura 2000 network.

Every spring visitors to the forest can see over ten species of orchid, many of them natives of the area.
