Resorts such as Murcia, Cartagena, Alicante &
Calasparra have much to offer for holidaymakers. One of the most amazing
sites, and popular destinations for tourists in the Sanctuary de la Virgin de
la Esperanza. The church is built into the mountainside with stone from the
excavation. During the holiday times and on weekends, locals gather alongside
the riverbank to socialise and eat as the Sanctuary has numerous communal
BBQ's for all to use. For children there is a large play area, a location
with something for everyone.
For the more adventurous there is river rafting,
which includes some white water.
There is also mountaineering, mountain walks
& excellent
fishing and hunting. Caves with cave drawings can be found locally with
stalactites and stalagmites and beautiful underground caverns.
The market which is held in the town centre on Friday is a must visit.
Locally grown fruit and vegetables as well as leather, household goods and
clothes are available.
