Enjoy a tour of the stunning artwork around the centre of Los Alcázares! Few visitors to Los Alcázares will have failed to notice that the town is packed with examples of urban art mural paintings, and in fact this is one of the aspects of the built-up area which the Town Hall actively promotes, encouraging the creation of new works which adorn the area rather than merely disfiguring it as simpler graffiti does. In May 2026 the range of art in the town was widened by the creation of 50 new murals during an urban art festival which was..
