Los Alcazares sits on the Mar Menor, a unique inland sea, separated from the Mediterranean by a narrow, 22 kilometre long strip of land called La Manga.  The Mar Menor is only 7 metres deep at it's deepest point, and its average water temperature in the summer is a warm 25°C making it a paradise for bathers and water sports enthusiasts.  The area offers lots of opportunities for horse riding, tennis and other activities.  Also no less than 7 golf courses can be found within a short drive from Los Alcazares town.

          The mineral rich water of the Mar Menor is revered for it's health giving properties and the town still has thermal baths which have existed since Roman times.  The fertile countryside exhibits evidence of ancient Moorish occupation and year round weekly markets offer fresh produce from the region which typically enjoys 320 days of glorious sunshine per year.

          Los Alcazares is less than  a ten minute drive from Murcia / San Javier International Airport which has frequent flights to and from many European destinations.  Alicante airport offers even more flights, and is just 1 hours drive away.  The historic and beautiful Roman port of Cartagena lies about 15km to the south, and is becoming an increasingly popular port of call for cruise ships.
