Estadio Francisco Artés Carrasco
Lorca's ground carries the name of the man who first chaired the city council's sports committee and went on to serve as president of CD Lorca in the 1950s, and the tribute has outlasted the club he once ran — Estadio Francisco Artés Carrasco has since passed to CF Lorca Deportiva while remaining, throughout, council property rather than a club asset.
The stadium opened its gates on 5 March 2003 on the Carretera de Granada, on the edge of town, built for a modest provincial side rather than for European nights. It has still had its moments above that level: Spain's under-21 side played a fixture there in October 2008, and the same age group returned in 2025 for a friendly against the Czech Republic, evidence that Lorca's municipal authorities have kept the ground fit for national-team duty even as its regular tenants have shuffled between divisions.
The pitch is natural grass, kept to a standard that has satisfied both regional football and the odd international call-up, and the capacity sits at 8,120 — enough for a full house to matter locally without the ground ever pretending to be more than what it is: a council-run stadium serving whichever Lorca club needs it.
