Los
Alcazares - In the region of Murcia, located in the south east
of Spain, visitors can find Los Alcazares which has taken
its name from the palaces built along the coastline of the Mar
Menor, in the middle ages.
It has a registered list of inhabitants of 9,000, which rises
however, being a seaside resort, to 100,000, during the summer
months of July and August.
Los Alcazares offers 70 kilometres of sandy beaches, with a town
centre practically situated on the shores of the Mar Menor. An
average annual temperature of 18 degrees C, a unique sea, and
the grandeur of the hearts of its people, makes this area a
paradise on earth, praised and admired by all those who visit
and live within its boundaries.
The waters of the Mar Menor are renowned for their benevolent
chemical properties, the same density as that of the Red Sea,
and are classified as medicinal. The high concentration of salt
and iodine, the absence of strong waves, shallow waters ( a
maximum of 7m ), and, of course, the excellent temperatures in
summer and winter form a unique environment hailed by the World
Health Authority as the healthiest region in Europe.
