Mazarron Bay
Mazarron,
7 klm inland is a bustling little town and Puerto de Mazarron
has an active fishing harbour with colourful little boats and
fishermen repairing their nets on the quayside. The main
tourist attraction of Puerto de Mazarron are the beautiful beaches
that stretch along the coast from La Azohia to Bolneuvo.
Near the port, alongside the long beaches, tourist development
is low key; catering mostly for the Spanish, and on the hills
behind is a scattering of private villas.
Food
is good in Mazarron, particularly fresh fish and many of the bars
and restaurants, offer a huge variety of tapas.
New
motorways have opened up the coastal area of Mazarron to pioneer
investors who wish to buy in an area that boasts some of the finest
beaches in Spain.
The
bay is enclosed by mountain ranges and this gives the Mazarron
area a microclimate, which results in more than 320 days of sunshine
per year. The generally untouched nature of the rugged mountainous
coastline reminds English visitors of Cornwall.
A
fascinating drive from Mazarron is the road south to Aguilas,
which winds through dramatic desert and mountain scenery with
hills of slate and other minerals of various colours. Aguilas
is a pleasant old port and market town.
The
main industry is fishing and tourism. Inland the area is
mostly farming land set to Orange, Lemon, Almond, Olives and figs.
The Mazarron area is famous for its tomato crop, whilst further
south towards Aguilas; this area is known as the salad bowl of
Europe because of the vast variety of fruit and vegetables grown
and exported.
Bolneuvo
- an unspoilt paradise.
Bolneuvo
is a small traditional fishing village to the west of the Puerto
de Mazarron. Set between the coast and the foothills of
the Sierra de Las Moreras.
There
are a wide variety of bars and restaurants where you can enjoy
the local gastronomic delights and wines, or stroll and browse
along the local shops. The sandy beach is one of the largest
in the area. Even in high season when other beaches are
crowded, Bolneuvo maintains that much needed feeling of space
to feel free and relaxed.
Bolneuvo
beach also has the stunning natural phenomenon. “Cidudad Encantada”
joint mushroom shaped monoliths carved out of sandstone by wind
and rain over the centuries.
The
whole surrounding area is carved out of the rugged landscape forming
individual sandy coves and beachheads of outstanding beauty.
