The nearest point
of interest,
in El Alamillo, is an Archeological Roman's space with a manufacture of
garum (concentrated and rich in protein fish juice). This garum was useful for
navigators who often left Cartagena.
An impressive statue dominates
Puerto de Mazarrón : "El Corazón de Jesus". An inn, near the Christ, offers
appreciable comfort after climbing.
 
The market of
Mazarrón takes place every Saturday's morning.
The
market of Puerto de Mazarrón (nearby the bus stop) is significant, it takes
place every Sunday's morning. Stalls are varied : clothes, musics, shoes,
food products, plants...

In Mazarrón, the two
churches are typical, and if you have time, in the room of the Town
Hall (old Casino), you may admire the bottom of the room with its cast iron
columns style Art "nouveau", as well as the decorated ceiling (see
photo). Another room even more impressive is on the higher floor.

In Mazarron, in february, you can go and
see the goldfinch show with birdsongs :
|
There are a
lot of beaches and
splits, sandy or shingly beaches, large or small. You have the
option to participate in sports if you wish (when temperature allows it) : scuba diving,
fishing, surfing (you can practice it near El Alamillo in front of the five
buildings named "Rosas del Viento", a wave allows trainings, but
other spots exist).
As
soon as you find a cliff, you also can look for sea urchins and can enjoy their
delicate sweetened and iodized taste.
There
are many nude beaches on the "Costa Virgen", in Sud of Bolnuevo.
Windsurfing
is also enjoyed in favorite places (Isla Plana).
|
|
Do not forget to have a look
at natural geological formations " the mushrooms of Bolnuevo ",
carved by wind, marine spray and sun... Surrounding hills also offer
varied landscapes which depend on the nature of the ground. Iron, ochre
and
tin mines have been abandoned.

If you are wishing
for futuristic exoticism : go and visit the 2 golf courses along the road of Murcia. In
" Camposol " where many English people live, the golf course
is almost completed.
Fantastic constructions seem to be unreal with villas (frequently with their private
swimming pool) because not long ago, the hills around
were desert. You will appreciate the English mini-market where you can
find all your usual food.
In the other golf course, a large alley bordered with white statues of Minerves is strange when you
think that at the beginning of year 2000, there were only :
spart, rosemary and desert plants.
Just before "
Camposol ", while going to Murcia, on
the left, take the small stony way near a little white church.
Another
way to go to the geothermal source : take the small way from the
purification of water of Camposol, in the direction of a big iron
column.
Going
along the track, you arrive at a geothermal source of hot (48 degrees) water . This
source flows into 3 small basins where you can be 3, 4 persons or more. In the
basin, water is approximately at 42 degrees. Remain only from 5 to
6 minutes and enter very carefully.
2007
: Works of constructions... Now, the source flows into only one
basin :
Do not forget to
visit the tomatoes, pomegranate, citrus fruits fields and vines (grapes
of table). Workers in these fields use to come from Equator. Do you know that
tomato flowers are fertilized by small bumblebees which are imported by plane
at the proper time !
Other visits may be
recommended : " Tuna factory " of Mendez which made a lot for
development of Mazarrón, as well as the palm plantation, olive grove " San
Miguel " where you can find good olive oil obtained by
centrifugation with its well-known qualities.
NB : All these outings and
others can be made by bike if you are in shape. Excursions are varied.

significant of Spain
where it is possible to admire the first submarine of the world constructed by
Isaac Peral.

the “Grands Magasins”, Corte ingles, where you can find what ever you want.
Aguilas and its surroundings, Cuevas de Almanzora,
and Mojácar, a typical village
Mojácar
“La Manga” along “mar Menor” (translated
into English : Minor Sea) which is impressive with its density
of buildings constructed on an offshore bar. This intimate Sea with salt
water close to the Mediterranean Sea is historically know and visited.
Near
Almería, the marine and terrestrial Park
“Cabo de Gata-Nìjar”, with a mediterranean sub-desert type climate, was catalogued by Unesco
as World Reserve of the Biosphere.
Anyhow, you will never regret
your journey, because the climate of Mazarrón is really ideal and " El
Alamillo " is always sunny.
