What to do in Los Montesinos

In the centre, we recommend taking a look around Nuestra Señora del Pilar Parish Church, which is home to beautiful sculptures such as a Dolorosa from the Salzillo school. 30 de julio Botanic Garden is another place that is well worth a visit to immerse yourself in the cool shade of the naturescape. If you are visiting on a Friday, you can browse the market stalls.

Outside the town, you will find fascinating historic heritage, such as La Marquesa, an old estate that dates back to the Roman period. Highlights of the site include La Marquesa Tower, La Marquesa Chapel, the cistern and the winery as well as many other elements that are typically found in an agricultural site.

Los Corteses Mill is another interesting place to visit as are the Lo Reig and Lo Vigo Viejo cisterns, which date back to the 18th century. Water architecture holds great importance in this agricultural town. 

Los Montesinos is nestled among lovely scenery close to Las Lagunas de la Mata y Torrevieja Natural Park. If you’re looking for things to do in Los Montesinos, we’d recommend walking Ruta Salada, a trail starting in the centre that will give you the opportunity to visit the wetlands.

This circular 3.5km walk snakes its way through the agricultural land and fruit trees where you can see the importance of the local biodiversity. You might even be lucky enough to see an owl. The vegetation on the banks of the wetlands will take you aback.
