ARCHIVED - Mar Menor Christmas swim in Los Alcazares set for Boxing Day
Those brave enough can take the plunge by signing up for the Los Alcázares event
The annual Christmas swim in the Mar Menor will go ahead this year in the municipality of Los Alcázares, despite Covid concerns and the recent contamination scandals in the Mar Menor.
The event is scheduled for 12 noon on Boxing Day (December 26) and participants can sign up on the lineadesalida website, where a small fee of five euros is required. Swimmers will take the plunge on Playa Carrión, near the Club Náutico in Los Alcázares and the swim itself is less than 100 metres.
Although the lagoon will be nowhere near as cold as any of the water off the coast of the United Kingdom, the Mar Menor still gets quite chilly during the winter and the brave swimmers will be offered hot chocolate, meatball stew and a free ‘super’ towel as a gift.
