Los Alcazares / Roda area

Los Acazares (pronounced "los - alcatha - res") is situated in the Murcia region of south - eastern Spain, also known as the Costa Calida. The town sits on the western shore of the Mar Menor, a saltwater lagoon separated from the Mediterranean sea by a 22km long strip of land called La Manga. At Los Alcazares you will find a host of shops, bars and restaurants.

The beautiful blue flag beach at Los Narejos is only 3km away and there are many other beaches of the Mar Menor locally to visit.

The town of Los Alcazares was afforded municipal autonomy on 13th October 1983 and in celebration of this the town puts on a week long outdoor party featuring live music, shows and spectacular firework displays.

The last 3 days of March sees Los Alcazares take on a medieval flavour with a large medieval market and numerous events in recollection of the times of peace following the creation of effective defences against invasions of Barbary pirates during the 15th century.

Throughout the last 2 weeks of August the town hosts the international celebration of La Huerta when groups representing market garden areas throughout Spain and other European countries gather to display their folklore, handicrafts and prepare gastronomic feasts from local produce.
