Mazarrón

Mazarrón is a fascinating destination on the Costa Cálida that consists of the historic inland village and the lively coastal port town of Puerto de Mazarrón. 

The history of the region is closely linked to the rich mineral deposits in the surrounding mountains, where the Romans and later the Phoenicians already extracted silver and lead from the earth. The climate is Mediterranean and very mild with hot summers and mild winters, where the bay of Mazarrón is sheltered from cold winds by the surrounding mountain ranges of the Sierra de la Almenara.

The main attractions are the spectacular erosion formations of Bolnuevo, also known as the "enchanted city", and the historic mines that have left behind a surrealistically colorful landscape. The local gastronomy is characterized by fresh fish from its own bay and salted fish products, which are traditionally prepared and served in the numerous fish restaurants at the marina. For golfers, the location is excellent, as the challenging courses of Camposol Club de Golf and Hacienda del Álamo are located a very short drive from the center.

The residents form an authentic mix of local Spanish families and a loyal group of international residents who appreciate the relaxed atmosphere and the pristine coastline of the municipality. The surroundings offer a beautiful contrast between rugged mountain landscapes and a coastline with hidden coves where one can still enjoy nature and the Mediterranean in total peace. Living in Mazarrón offers many advantages, including a lower cost of living, a very healthy living environment, and the unique combination of a rich mining history with a modern beach life.
