In
the Region of Murcia situated in the Southeast
of Spain, and embraced by the ample contour
of the Mar Menor, the visitors find Los Alcázares,
which was named after the palaces that stood
here in the medieval times looking over the
coastline. |

It
is located in the area with an extension of
20’3 Km2, inhabited by a total of 9000
inhabitants taken in a census (with an upward
trend), however, as this a tourist resort, the
numbers go up to 100.000 people who come here
to enjoy the sea, taking advantage of the ample
hotel facilities as well as the holiday homes
and apartments.
Seven kilometres of sandy beaches, with average
annual temperatures of 18ºC, a unique sea
and the grandeur of the hearts of its people,
make this place a paradise on earth, praised
and admired by all those who come here. |

The
economic structure of this area has been transformed
in the las few years, changing from agriculture
and fisheries to mainly service sector due to
the increasing needs of its tourist sector.
Los Alcázares offers seven kilometres
of coastline with the town centre practically
situated on the shores of the Mar Menor. Perhaps,
this interchange between different cultures,
has left its landmark on the shores of the Mar
Menor. |

The
gastronomy of the area is renowned for its
simple recipes, as well as for its richness
and myriad of ingredients. The typical dish
par excellence is the Caldero, originally
seafarer’s dish, made with an assortment
of fish, and whose fish stock is used to prepared
a succulent rice dish.
The famous produce from the orchards of Murcia
(la Huerta) is ever present in our cuisine,
with which we prepare our typical dishes from
la Huerta such as Michirones, Zarangollo,
…
The fish and seafood dishes occupy a privileged
place in our gastronomy, with fish such as
gilthead, mullet and, of couse, the Mar Menor
prawns. However, we should also highlight
our slted fish, roe, salted tuna fish and
tuna loin that make dilicious appetisers.
As desserts, the fruit is the star of the
show, with an array of varieties. And as for
the pasties and cakes, the Cierva pasty and
Tocino de Cielo are some of the most savoured
and appreciable.
