Mazarron Resort

On leaving Cartagena towards Mazarrón the visitor follows the coastline along spectacular cliffs and rocky formations from the beach of Portus, where nudism can be practised to Cabo Tiñoso.

From this point onwards which belongs to the city of Cartagena we enter the bay itself, with its centre taken up by the town of Mazarrón. The coast here is rather rough and full of interesting underwater reefs on a rocky seabed. There is an impressive panoramic view of all the coast from Cabo Tiñoso and specially the unspoilt beaches of Cala Abierta and Cala Cerrada from here.

We may reach the Azohía an area of the seaboard where expert fishermen practice the ancient art of the pesca con almadraba. Basically tunny, bonito and milt are the produce of work these men carry out from February until well into July.

The almadraba is a remarkable fishing technique based on drawing the fish into what is known as a cuadro or pen where they are enclosed and then gaffed and finally lifted into boats where the fish are loaded.

Between the Azohia and Puerto de Mazarrón manu sandy beaches and resorts can be found such as Isla Plana.

If we leave the bay of Mazarrón in the direction of the coast of Aguilas a very interesting seashore can be found such as Puntas de Calnegre. Its named like this due to the dark colour of the rocks. Besides Cape Cope, Puntas de Calnegre is a Regional Park since 1972, this is one of the loneliest spots on the coast with its clean sandy beaches and clear waters. The outline reaches the sea in sharp cliffs, among which are the gorgeous coves Baño de las Mujeres, Siscal and Cala Honda.
