This extraordinary heritage wealth joins with the enormous natural wealth surrounding the paradisiacal town, which is characterized by its tourist, cultural, artistic, urban and natural routes of enormous appeal. Its attractive tourist routes offer a tour of the Los Alcazares Air Base—a vibrant and fun bicycle tour along a Cultural Route where you can admire the Rame Tower, the Monument to Jose Sazatornil, the Monument to the Fisherman and the Aljibe Colorao Square.

The popular Urban Art Route offers tourists and visitors the opportunity to admire and learn about allegorical artistic works such as The Shadow of Peter Pan by Jesus Lorente, the Extinction Rebellion or the Hippocampus Guttulatus, among many others. The circular Urban Route of Los Alcazares—Rambla Albujon extends along the edge of the air base and then enters the rambla, crossing its wetlands and following a rural path.
