Sucina

Sucina is a village in Murcia six to eight kilometres from San Javier and near the airport. New houses and resorts are under construction and will remain so for at least another five years.

The centre consists of a church called ‘Nuestra Señora del Rosario' and has recently experienced some physical renovation, due to its age. On one side of the church is a bank, whilst on the other side, there is a restaurant. Two roads up from the church, along a row of tiny, terraced houses dating back to the 18th century, is the local ‘Panaderia,’ otherwise known as the bakery. ‘Pasteles’ or cakes, are made here too. These are national treasures only to be scoffed as they hold a vital part of Spanish tradition on birthdays, saints' days, and Sundays.
