Fuente Alamo

Fuente Alamo is located 5 minutes drive from the Hacienda Del Alamo golf resort and approximately 35 kilometres from the region's capital, a short 30-minute drive from the blue flag beaches of Mazarron and the historic city of Cartagena and set amongst the beautiful scenery of the Carrascoy Regional Park. This busy inland market town is well connected, enjoys a year round pleasant climate and is becoming an extremely popular place for rural tourism. Fuente Alamo is steeped in history and dates back to the 16th century.

There are lots of places to go exploring in and around Fuente Alamo including the nearby village of La Pinilla, which is set to the south east of Fuente Alamo. The Carrascoy Regional Park is an ideal place for walking, cycling and bird watching. It is nestled between the municipalities of Alhama de Murcia, Fuente Alamo and Murcia City. For those who like a real challenge, a climb to the top of the Carrascoy Mountain, which is 1065 meters high, provides fantastic panoramic views of the area.
The municipality of Fuente Alamo has recently been rediscovered by holidaymakers and ex-pats that are looking for a quieter place to live than the busier seaside towns of the Mar Menor. Due to the expanding population, the infrastructure of the town has also been improved dramatically over the last three years. There are now three schools in Fuente Alamo, two state- run and one private, one health centre, sports facilities, and a multitude of shops, bars and restaurants as well as an extremely busy bustling Saturday market. The market is held on the Murcia Avenue next to the sports facility.

The village of Fuente Alamo comes alive at night-time and especially at this time of year when it is full of rural holidaymakers. There are four nightclubs in Fuente Alamo as well as numerous bars, making it an ideal choice for a great weekend away. August is definitely the month to be in Fuente Alamo as this is the time when their annual festivals take place. The celebrations in Fuente Alamo will officially begin on Friday 18 Th August. This year's fiestas are packed full of live music, dancing, markets, competitions and theatrical performances.
