Los Belones is a small local village with its own market and an extremely varied array of restaurants where you could enjoy a different cuisine every day of the week.

In the surrounding area there are many places of interest to visit such as Cartagena, an ancient historic city with Roman ruins such as the ampitheatre and forts, a beautiful harbour and a strong history of military and marine importance. And Murcia similarly historic and with beautiful architecture and shops.
