Mazarrón

Mazarrón is a coastal municipality stretching along the Mediterranean with roughly 35 kilometers of shoreline, sandy beaches, and sheltered coves. The settlement spreads across the harbor, town center, and several other urban zones along the water.

The Romans established mining operations in the area, extracting lead, zinc, silver, and iron from the ground. Archaeological remains from that era, including a preserved salt fish factory, still stand as evidence of this economic activity.

The Church of San Andrés catches the eye with its ornate wooden ceiling crafted in the 16th century through Mudéjar traditions. The Town Hall next door displays the modern architectural forms that emerged in the early 1900s.

Several Blue Flag beaches and a marina with 200 berths offer water activities and recreation. Corvera International Airport is easily accessible and connects the municipality to other regions.

The Bolnuevo Erosions display remarkable sandstone formations naturally sculpted by wind and water over millions of years. These reddish-tinted rock formations create a striking visual pattern along the shoreline.
