where in the worldLos Montesinos owes its name to the noble family that governed over the lands surrounding the town. After the reforms of the Cardinal Belluga, the entire Vega Baja including Los Montesinos, prospered and it has now become a village with 2,393 inhabitants. The main economic activity is agriculture although the growth is increasing due to the tourism sector on this coast. The town lays close to Torrevieja and Guardamar del Segura, which now means that most of the active population is involved in the provision of services for the tourism sector. The town's municipal projects are a reflection of its increasing prosperity and there are plans to build 60,000 square metres of parks and gardens throughout the locality. There is an abundance of bars, restaurants and shops catering for all tastes. There is a local school, library and medical centre and regular bus services into the surrounding towns. |
