Los Alcazares
This is a working Spanish town with all the facilities you would need, like banks, shops, restaurants etc., these are within a short walk of the apartment (under five minutes)
The towns main attraction is the beach which extends for 5kms and has a palm lined promenade all along it´s length, the water is clear and blue flag status has been achieved.
The sea is very safe from a childs point of view as it is non tidal and fairly shallow and gently deepens as you leave the shore.
Los Alcazares is well connected to the rest of Spain by way of motorway and major roads and to the outside world by two nearby international airports, San Javier and Alicante.
the complex
Puerto Marina is a community of properties which has many year round residents as well as holidaymakers, for this reason it is impecably maintained and reasonably quiet, it is suitable for families and couples but not "lads" or "girls" holidays as there is no "nightlife" as in "clubs" etc nearby, there are however many good restaurants and bars closeby, some of the better ones are La Encarnacion, Ramon, El Patio IV, these are all traditionally Spanish/International and there are many others specialising in cuisine from all over the world,
There are a number of large community swimming pools and these are surrounded by well maintained communal gardens, the closest of these is literally around the corner from your apartment, while it is conveniently located for your use you do not overlook it so after your swim you can relax on your large and private patio area.
nearby
you have a central square within five mins walk of the apartment which has supermarkets, shops, cafes, restaurants, banks etc
the beach is within 7/8 mins walk and you do not need a car if this type of holiday appeals to you.
However, if you do want to hire a car I can assist you at the most competitive rates in the area,
within a short drive you have the attractive historic city of Cartagena which has many Roman ruins, it also has a recently restored port area, also here can be found El Cortes Ingles which is an exclusive department store,
within two hours drive is the Holy City of Caravaca de la Cruz which is definately worth a visit also within this sort of distance is the shrine of the Virgen in Calasparra which is a wonderful place built into the natural stone,
these two outings will enable you to see much of interior Murcia.
there are two waterparks and a safari park within driving distance in Rojales, Torrevieja and Elche, Terra Natura has recently opened close to Murcia and this comprimises a water park with a safari park next door.
