Los Alcazares / Los Urrutias area
Set in a rural location and surrounded by farm land and open countryside Estrella is a small quiet village with a mixture of residents and holiday visitors. The village is beautifully laid out with parks and gardens, wide streets and typical Spanish architecture. No building stands more than two stories high.
The village has several communal facilities for use by residents and guests which include: Swimming Pool, Tennis Courts, Mini Golf and Children's play area
The beach is very quiet and picturesque with views across the Mar Menor. It has great sand for making castles (if that is what you are into!) also, the water of the Mar Menor is incredibly warm throughout the year. The water is very calm and shelves very gently so it is ideal for small children.
Estrella de Mar is actually considered to be part of Los Urrutias though they are separated by a large field.

Guestbook for Estrella Vista
Carrolie Chelmsford, Essex Review Submitted: July 15, 2008 Date of Stay: June, 2008 This is indeed a perfect holiday home. We were provided with all our needs especially as our granddaughter, 1 year old, accompanied us. The owners provided us with excellent service in the way of helping us to locate car hire and baby equipment. The property was cleaned every week, with clean linen/towels also being provided. The journey planner from the airport (Murcia) was spot on! However, the restaurants were few but the one we visited at the end of the road from the villa provided us with excellent food and a very friendly service. Providing for the baby was no problem. The area is very quiet just perfect for listening to the crickets of an evening whilst sipping a glass of wine! The beaches along the coast were indeed very safe for our granddaughter, exactly as the owners had informed us.
"Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful house. We could not have hoped for a more comfortable and pleasant place and we very much enjoyed our time there."
"...we had a fantastic holiday. The property is lovely and we would like to thank you again for accommodating all our needs."
"Had a lovely time and the weather was great. Thoroughly explored the area and now know it well. The house was everything we desired and very comfortable."
