Description
Los Alcázares, the ideal destination on the Costa Cálida
Los Alcázares is one of the most special spots on the Costa Cálida. Bathed by the Mar Menor, it is simply idyllic for living or spending long stays. Here you will find kilometres of calm beaches with warm, shallow waters: perfect for walking, swimming almost all year round, practising water sports, and enjoying the sun like in very few places in Europe.
The climate is one of its greatest treasures: mild winters, long summers and an average of more than 300 days of sunshine per year make Los Alcázares a perfect destination for those looking to escape the cold without giving up comfort or good services.

Local festivals and gastronomy
The festivals and traditions celebrated throughout the year give Los Alcázares a special charm: maritime celebrations, Easter, summer festivals, and local events fill the streets with music, colours, and outdoor gastronomy. Among the most emblematic celebrations are:
- Caldero Competition on the beach: held on 12 October.
- Easter: Solemn processions with Baroque floats, traditional songs, and drums.
- Patron saint festivals with fairs and open-air parties.
The gastronomy of Los Alcázares reflects its maritime essence and the richness of the Mar Menor, featuring dishes that combine fishing traditions, fresh produce from local gardens, and Mediterranean influences. Highlights include intense rice dishes, white-fleshed fish, and tapas perfect for sharing on terraces by the sea. Everything is prepared with extra virgin olive oil and spices such as saffron and ñora peppers. Wines from Jumilla or Yecla pair perfectly.
- Mar Menor caldero is the star dish: a dry or creamy rice cooked in an iron pot with rock fish (mullet, gilthead bream, or gurnard), prawns, ñora peppers, and concentrated broth. A fishermen's dish served with alioli.
- Salt-baked mullet: a noble fish from the Mar Menor cooked whole under a salt crust that enhances its juicy flavour. Simple yet exquisite.
- Salted fish products: Mojama (dried tuna loin) and mullet roe. Perfect as appetizers.
- Signature tapas: Marinera (Russian salad with anchovy on a bread ring), zarangollo (scrambled zucchini and egg), and michirones (broad beans with chorizo).
- Desserts and others: Anise cakes, wine rolls, and Asian coffee (with liqueur and cinnamon).
All of this makes this town a very attractive destination if you are considering buying a home in Spain.
