Mazarron

Is located on the South Eastern corner of Spain, to the West of the historic city of Cartagena. There are excellent road links and airports at Alicante and Murcia (San Javier - Murcia Regional Airport) offer regular flights to Europe and beyond. Mazarron boasts some of the best beaches in Spain and is one of the most important tourist centers for marine and sub-aquatic activities in the whole of Spain. With a wonderful climate; the area is relatively undeveloped when compared to the more popular Spanish Costas and as such provides an excellent location for a peaceful family holiday.

Traveling time to Mazarrón is about one hour from San Javier airport in an average family car and around 30 minutes south from The Hacienda Resort. Mazarron is actually two towns in one. There is the main town with its town hall, daily indoor fresh produce market, banks, medical facilities, shops etc. Then, there is its pretty seafront sister, Puerto de Mazarron. The coast town of Puerto de Mazarron is known as the Cornwall of Spain with its pretty coves and harbours and pedestrianised walkways. The coastline of Puerto has many kilometers of fine unspoilt sandy beaches with safe bathing. The municipality has been awarded the coveted Blue Flag for water quality over consecutive years and The World Health Organization recently declared the province of Murcia the cleanest area in Spain with the least industrial pollution.

During the long hot summer months, the water temperature in La Costa Calida rises to that of a warm bath so it’s the ideal place to master sports such as sailing, windsurfing, water and jet skiing as well as providing safe bathing for children. The bay is enclosed by the mountain ranges of Sierras Moreras, Almenara, Algorobo, Lo Alto, and Muela and slightly further to the North, Sierra Espuña. This gives Mazarron Bay a "microclimate" which invariably results in better weather than the rest of Spain. Puerto de Mazarron boasts more than 300 days of sunshine every year.
