Traditionally, Puerto Lumbreras has been a transit point due to its strategic location between the roads from the eastern coast of the Iberian Peninsula to Andalusia. Presided over by the Cabezo de la Jara mountain, this Murcian municipality has several attractions that have made it a tourist destination on any route from the Region of Murcia to Almería... or the other way round. Its themed cave houses, located in the Cerro del Castellar, are one of them. Did you know that these unique constructions in Puerto Lumbreras make up one of the largest troglodyte complexes in the southeast of the peninsula? And that's not the only fun fact you're sure to learn before your visit is over. Another place not to be missed is the Castillo de Nogalte, which crowns the town. This medieval fortress, built between the 12th and 13th centuries, was for decades the frontier between the Kingdom of Castile and the Nasrid Kingdom of Granada. Puerto Lumbreras also hides a lot of history. When you climb up to the castle, which is an Asset of Cultural Interest, admire the panoramic view from its viewpoints. This should be one of your first photos of this municipality. Once in the village, you can stroll through the historic quarter until you come across the Casa de los Duendes, a bourgeois building with a beautiful façade dating from the mid-19th century. Second photo! It now houses the historical archive of Lumbrera and a variety of cultural activities. On the first floor, you will find the Augusto Vels Graphology Room, a small museum that highlights the contributions of this neighbour to the science of graphology.

Sercotel Riscal
Due to its location, Puerto Lumbreras is that Murcian town that everyone ends up passing through. Its proximity to the A-7 and being halfway between Murcia and Almería and 30 minutes from the beaches of Águilas make it a strategic spot. There, our Sercotel Hotel Riscal will become your base camp, perfect for exploring the area. If you feel like it, of course, because we know that once you set foot in our Hotel Riscal you will probably never want to leave. Or at least for the duration of your trip.
Our 3-star hotel is modern, cosy and functional. Lately there has been a lot of talk about the importance of things flowing, but at the Sercotel Hotel Riscal we have spent years taking care of every detail so that during your stay you have everything you need. Whatever the reason for your trip, you will find a haven of tranquillity in any of our 61 rooms. Comfortable, with natural light and so much space that some of them allow you to add extra beds if you come with family or friends.
Don't worry about your car: you can park it in our car park. No worries about the internet connection and the peace and quiet for work, if you are here on business, either. We have free Wi-Fi in all the facilities and a Business Corner, where they say that if you prepare your next meeting there, your success is practically guaranteed. We also have event rooms available, if you have an event in mind.
Of course, when we like to do our best is when you activate the leisure, rest and enjoyment mode. For this purpose, we have a fully equipped gymnasium, designed so that you can maintain that sporting routine that suits you so well in your day-to-day life during your getaway. During the summer months, we add to our services the possibility for you to enjoy a dip and a lap session in the sun in our outdoor swimming pool. We are aware of the heat in the Levante and we have remedied it. That's all very well, yes; but you're probably thinking that the way to win you over is fine wining and dining. We also know something about this at the Hotel Riscal.
We respect mornings so much here that we start them with a hearty buffet breakfast. The rest of the day we spend it as we please, between our cafeteria, our restaurant and the bar. Also on the terrace, if the weather is good. And in all of them, a common note: care, attention and love for Mediterranean cuisine. Enjoy your meal!

This natural site also has a peculiar orography characterised by ravines, wooded areas of holm oaks and pines, and other subarid areas. To go deeper (and better) into this unique space, you can start your excursions at the Nature Interpretation Centre that you will find in the Youth Hostel.
And if you're a nature lover, you can't leave Puerto Lumbreras without walking or cycling along the Water Route, a simple circular route of just over 2 kilometres in which you will discover pipes, filtering galleries, watercourses, aqueducts, mills and washing places that reflect the hydraulic ingenuity that has survived from antiquity to the present day.
And how can we leave Puerto Lumbreras without tasting its cuisine? Here, the matanza, or slaughter of animals, is a major agricultural tradition, making this the perfect place to buy artisan sausages. And to taste their migas with pork chunks! This typical local dish is also accompanied by tender garlic, sardines or grapes. Rice, stews and baked leg of lamb complete the repertoire of an ancestral recipe book.
Those with a sweet tooth will be delighted to know that Lumbrera's confectionery is rich and varied. You are in luck, because the confectioners and patisseries of Puerto Lumbreras are another must. There, taste the puff pastries dipped in very hot sugar. The mantecados del puerto, the torta de chicharrones or the huevos a la nieve also deserve a special mention!
And at Christmas any culinary feast must end with Easter cakes, orange cakes, alfajores, marzipan, bilbaos and cordials. Maybe it's too much, so save some for your next visit. Puerto Lumbreras knows you'll be back!
