Puerto de Mazarrón is a working port and holiday town located on south-eastern Spanish coast known as Costa Calida - The warm coast - in the region of Murcia. The nearest major town is the historic city of Cartagena, the port where the Armarda departed from to invade England.

The Port has a number of attractions: there are 4 main beaches close by the town and a large number of bays around the local coast line. Sunsets are particularly beautiful from La Ahozia and Isla Plana, villages just round the coast. There is a long promenade around the main Town beach with restaurants all along it - this is where you can watch the people promenading on a summer evening. There is also two marina's - one by the main Town Beach - this is the working port where the fishing boats land. The other one caters for mainly pleasure craft. Here are some shots of Puerto de Mazarrón
There are many good restaurants in the Town, even a couple of Indian's and loads of Chinese along with those serving Spanish cuisine. There are a number of Supermarkets and various other shops, some quite posh, others catering for visitors, great fun to wander round. For bargain hunters there is a open Market every Sunday just by the Bus Station.
