Take note, if you are using Sat Nav and the maps are not really up to date, you will be taken a long way round, as the AP7 is not on many Sat Navs
Murcia (San Javier) Airport is actually closer to Cartagena. It is slightly nearer to Vera Playa than Alicante, now that the new toll road is open (the AP7) the drive only takes about 1 1/4 hours, but the tolls are about 12 Euros each way. If you really want a scenic drive (it is beautiful, but more than an hour slower), use the coastal road that takes you through the heart of Cartagena.
Murcia Airport is small and has reasonable facilities
