Describing where you live...

I live in Alcantarilla, which is a city near Murcia in the South-East of Spain. It has a population of 45,000 people and it´s one of the most populated places in the Region of Murcia.

The weather here is very different from the north of Spain. The most part of the year it is sunny. Tourists love this weather because it's great for going to the mountains or the beach, these are close to our town. The winter is mild. The summer is too hot and dry. It rains a few times in spring and autumn and it sometimes rains hard for a few days.

Alcantarilla is famous for its waterwheel and its Market Garden Museum.
The biggest tourist attraction in Alcantarilla is probably May festival:
There are concerts of very popular singers, parades and tributes for " Virgen de la Salud ". Children give her some flowers in this tribute.

Alcantarilla is very famous for the Wheel that is near the Huerta´s museum, it was built by the Muslims, It is famous for the Hero factory too; it is an important factory of preserved food. May festivity is very important, there are free concert, the fair and the witch´s burn, also you can fun dancing or drinking in the bars close. In Alcantarilla there are the Military airport and the Industrial park. Alcantarilla is very nice and very big, a perfect place to live.

There's a symbol in Alcantarilla, that's "the witch": it's city of the witches.

Alcantarilla is famous for Superchuys disco, although it's closed at the moment.
The biggest tourist attraction here is Adolfo Suarez square where there are many restaurants, coffee bars, pizzerias, pubs and a little park. There is a festival in May where famous artists come and people dance and enjoy a lot. There are some attractions where children and young people spend a lot of time.
Also, Alcantarilla is famous because it's a town of Witches!


The best things about Alcantarilla are the weather in winter and May Festival. It’s a dormitory town but also a multicultural one. People are friendly and the atmosphere is great. For these reasons, we like living here.
