Mil Palmeras
Mil Palmeras has experienced a massive building boom since the 1980's, although it has still managed to retain a sleepy seaside village feel. Mil Palmeras takes its name from its beach – its main attraction! Depending on the time of the year the beach ranges in width, although the fine golden sand is guaranteed. The village has a little square and a great 'restaurant alley' which is packed with international restaurants specialising in their own cuisine. The promenade, which with a few small deviations, runs the length of the beach takes you north to Dehesa de Campoamor or south to Torre de la Horadada.
