Hidden Treasure



Relax

Sitting outdoors sipping coffee from a glass watching the world go by is something of a necessity for most who live in Los Alcázares. Over the years I have tried to move around a little so that this ritual doesn't feel like groundhog day. Nothing wrong with a little diversity now and again, that said many have their regular spots.
There are some very special places that come to mind that maybe not so obvious to most. As always my articles are in no way designed to be one sided, the objective being that you may discover new and exciting places that may soon be on your radar.


Municiple Golf


There are two places that are not so obvious here, not more than a 3 minute drive from the military base on the edge of town are two places that should be marked as worth a look.

La Serena Golf


A beautiful restaurant and outside terrace allows for panoramic views albeit green in colour. Coffee on the terrace gives you a real sense of being somewhere different.
The real plus here is the design as it's very well laid out and roomy, you really can sit and watch the world go by. A great place to meet friends or to get away alone. You can park outside and if you come in the mornings, you can often see people on the training area.
The Hotel Senator Del Mar Menor is my other hidden gem. A four star hotel located a stones throw from the Golf centre, in fact at the end of the road. A beautiful setting that makes you feel as if you are on holiday, if that's at all possible in a place like this.
Beautifully laid out and open to the public you will find that it's a fantastic place that is clean, bright and has a lovely ambience.

El Carmoli





Unknown to most there is a small mountain located about 8 km away from Los Alcazares. This small urbanisation offers one of the few elevated viewpoints on the Mar Menor. A protected area and listed as an official touristic site, it boasts an extinct volcano. Once upon a time the area was used to store munitions and as you trek up the mountain you can still see some of the original out houses still standing.
In the centre of the mountain sits a restaurant which is still owed by the same (French)owners for 3 generations. It's beautiful position offers something magical and unique and should be visited or at least on your to do list.

Shark!

I saw this video as it made the rounds online last year. A shark was filmed in the Port of Cartagena. There is no need to worry, it's extremely rare.

Los Alcázares Schools

Is The Grass Greener On The Other Side ? Now here is a topic that is often discussed both by the local community and those that are intending to move to the area. Schooling generally is of a high standard but some parents would agree that it's not the school, it's the student when it comes to assessing any degree of academic success. Having raised children from nursery age to nearly University age in Los Alcázares, I can only speak from my own personal experience. That said there are many who would openly say that nothing is better, just different. Children are like sponges An expression that I think every adult has heard at some point or other. For every age group I can safely say that this is true to an extent. Your being non committal I can hear you say, yes I am because parents have a significant part to play in the learning process if you want any degree of academic success. The older the child, the greater the need to learn Spanish but the more cha

The Old Town Centre

Most tourists and residents overlook this part of town, compelled to tell you that all that it's a very magical place which has it's own charm and appeal. Well before the street behind the Mercadona took pole position as the hub for tourists it boasted an extremely high foot flow. The crisis was one factor that tried to seal it's fate and for many years it put up a very good fight in terms of commercial draw. Over the last few years three main commercial anchors have appeared. Elite Moda High street fashion which is affiliated to a chain in Spain and has a strong reputation for offering a good standard of service, competitive prices and of course quality. I have provided a link to their Facebook page which will give a better indication of the clothing range and accessories. Hotel Encarnacion You may have seen a few places on your trips around the world but nothing quiet like this. A listed and p
