The Romans set up a salt meat and fishing industry and built the first thermal baths and spas in the area. Peaceful and quiet, the Mar Menor shore of Los Alcázares In the 6th century, the Arabs (who had conquered a large part of Spain) chose this part of the country to build their palaces and places of rest because of the old Roman spas and their therapeutic qualities. In 1245, the Christians led by Fernando III of Castilla arrived on the south east coast and forced the Arabs to flee, but the Arabs were not forced out until 1272 because of King Alfonso X's order of the distribution of the lands around Los Alcazares. In 1898, noble and rich families in Murcia came to Los Alcazares and made it their place of summer residence. Los Alcázares Promenade The modern-day Los Alcázares has many attractions. One of the most prominent of these is the Los Narejos promenade featuring many shops, bars and restaurants. It is also very infamous for people setting up stalls at nighttime. The "LA" area has developed into a major golf destination in southeastern Spain. Los Alcazares has several high quality golf courses in close proximity, including Roda Golf (18 holes), La Serena Golf, the five star Intercontinental Mar Menor Golf and Spa resort, and the five star La Manga Club – both championship venues. There are over 30 golf courses within 1 hour drive from Los Alcazares.
