TownPuerto de Mazarrón is a working fishing town with sandy bays and lively summer nights, just north of the Bolnuevo gredas — pale sandstone formations eroded into strange mushroom shapes.
Why visit Puerto de Mazarrón
Mazarrón’s port is a genuine working fishing town that fills up in summer, with a string of sandy bays along its coast and lively nightlife in the warm months. Just to the south lie the Bolnuevo gredas, pale sandstone formations that wind and time have eroded into strange mushroom shapes beside a long beach. Together the town and the gredas make an easy pairing for a day on this stretch of the Costa Cálida.
