Mazarron & Puerto de Mazarron
are in fact 2 towns in one. There is the main town with
its Town Hall, daily indoor fresh produce market, banks, medical
facilities, shops, etc, and then less than a 5 minute drive away
there is its pretty little seafront sister, Puerto de Mazarron.
Where you will find a harbour and marina along with superb sandy
beaches and secluded coves.
The area is still 'very Spanish' and this is reflected in the local
restaurants, tapas bars, shops and the very popular Sunday markets
which should not be missed. Visitors have the choice of many
different beaches (including a secluded nudist one) and coves at
which to sunbathe and swim in the sea. The seafront paseos between
Bolnuevo, Mazarron, Isla Plana and La Azohía are perfect places to
enjoy your warm evening strolls, maybe after dinner in one of the
many restaurants along the sea front. A backdrop of mountains rounds
off the scenic area, which is yet unspoilt but popular with the
local Spanish from Murcia/Cartagena and Madrid in the summer.
Costa Calida & Murcia
is situated in the
SE of Spain, between Andalucía region and Valencia/Alicante and
is well supported by a whole new infrastructure of major motorways
and the expanding airports of Alicante, Murcia (San Javier) and
Almeria. Renting a car in Murcia is very easy via the internet, with
pick-ups and drop-offs at all the airports, and it is considerably
cheaper than renting a car in the UK.
This region has the most sunshine in Europe (320days per year) with
average annual temperatures of 21 C degrees. Its
micro-climate, generated through the protection of the surrounding
mountain ranges, ensures mild winters and gentle evening summer
breezes. Many chose the Costa Calida region for its wonderful sandy
beaches and the unspoilt coves along its 250km of coastline,
surrounded by mountains and high cliffs. It is ideal for walking,
cycling and hiking, or simply strolling by the sea. The crystal
clear blue waters are superb for swimming and the diving schools in
the area offer a variety of opportunities to learn and test your sea
diving skills.
The spectacular Nature
Reserve of Sierra Espuna is only 25 mins drive away, with varied
walking and cycling routes and opportunities for horse riding. There
are excellent restaurants where you can sit on sunny terraces
enjoying a traditional Spanish meal whilst taking in the panoramic
views from high altitudes and catching some amazing sunsets.
Murcia city is the cultural
and business capital of this region, and provides numerous
opportunities to enjoy different musical events, art exhibitions and
a vast collection of modern and traditional shops to meet all your
shopping needs. The historical towns and ports of Mazarron, Aguilas
and Cartagena have interesting seafronts, marinas and protected
parks and green spaces and the regular traditional markets are
excellent for presents and fresh produce. In the old town of Lorca
you can stroll through the artisan quarter where visitors can see
the traditional techniques of weaving, clay pottery work and basket
work, with many handmade items on sale in workshops and the local
markets. Throughout this region, visitors can experience the
excitement and community spirit of the local fiestas held in Murcia,
Totana, Lorca, Cartagena, and Mazarron during Spring, Easter and
Summer. Caravaca de la Cruz, one of the world's five holy cities is
well worth a visit.
Only 20 minutes drive away, is the prestigious 'La Manga Club' with
its five star Hyatt Hotel, 3 x 18 holes golf courses, tennis and
football centres and much more. The Mar Menor (basically an interior
sea) is the only one of its kind in Europe with very warm, shallow,
calm waters making it perfect for families with young children.
Visitors may be interested in trying the many medicinal mineral
treatments on offer derived from the salt lakes.
The area is very easily accessible, only two hours flight time from
the UK, with many airlines now offering several routes at very
affordable prices. See the links section.
