The Mar Menor (Little Sea):
The beaches along the Mar Menor in Los Alcazares are all interconnected with beautiful promenades that are fully equipped with chalets, seating areas, fountains, bicycle lanes and access points for the handicapped. The Mar Menor is a saltwater lagoon of 128 square kilometres with an average temperature that is 5 degrees above that of the Mediterranean. The area enjoys an average of 320 days of sunshine each
Year, which allows many residents and tourists alike to enjoy the mineral-rich water of the Mar Menor. The water is renowned for its health-giving properties as well as being an ideal location in which to practice all types of water sports. Regattas, canoeists, windsurfers and kite-surfers are commonly seen in- the lagoon.
Due to its idyllic location on the Mar Menor Los Alcazares is an extremely popular tourist destina¬tion for Spanish nationals and other Europeans who are lucky enough to discover this picturesque area. The name Los Alcazares comes from the Arabic word Al Kazar, which means palace or house of nobles. The Arabs built magnificent holiday homes and viewed Los Alcazares as a place of relaxation. The Moors discovered the excellent medicinal benefits of the Mar Menor and to this date it is listed by the World Health Organisation as one of the healthiest places on earth. The Moors used the ancient Roman baths in Los Alcazares, which still stand today.
