Los Alcázares, Spain Craig Rowe

Craig Rowe is pulling out all the stops around Los Alcazares on Spain’s Costa Calida to find Diane and John from Derbyshire their dream holiday home. They’ve holidayed in this part of the world many times before and have decided now’s the right time to buy their very own property there. They have a maximum budget of £180,000 but can Craig hit the spot with any of the five fantastic properties he has lined up?

About the area

Around a two and a half hour flight from the UK to Murcia, and a short drive, takes you to Los Alcazares in South East Spain’s Costa Calida. Located next to the shores of the Mar Menor lagoon, Los Alcazares boasts over four miles of stunning sandy beaches, with every watersport you can think of on offer.

Los Alcazares is split into two distinct parts; the Old Town with its boutiques, tapas restaurants and quaint marina and the New Town – the area known as Los Narejos - which was purpose built around 12 years ago to cater for the area’s growing popularity and influx of over 100,000 visitors over the summer months.
