Hi Lammy,
Depends what you are looking for?
The main strip with the bars and restaurants is the area alongside the 525 hotel (you’ll see it on a map). Though there are plenty of others throughout the town. The promenade and the beach are also fantastic, again with some great beach bars. Plus a beautiful beach.
The old part of town is more Spanish, but still some fantastic restaurants.
Most of the Brits live by and around Los Narejos (still part of LA) which is around what’s called the arches on the north side of town. Though there are plenty of other areas as well. In fact we live the opposite end of the town (South), just outside, in a small place called Lomas Del Rame, which has a village feel.
The only issue with Los Alcazares is flooding. In 2019 it was greatly affected by the September Gota Fria, which was the worst storm in 100 years. The council have done a great job in cleaning up the town, if fact it’s far better than it was before. They have also put in lots of flood defenses to protect it if it were to happen again. It mainly affected the old town. However, if you ask on this forum either myself or others will advise if where you are looking at was affected.
There is a large ex pat community who live here permanently, plus lots with holiday homes, so the winter is very vibrant.
Good luck. The Mar Manor area is great, and it’s a fantastic life.
