An Escapade to Murcia – Part 3

About a month ago, my laptop broke down. That’s one of the reasons why we haven’t been very active on our site. Without a laptop it’s kind of hard to blog, and we have just returned from more adventures in the north of Spain. Anyway, without further ado, let’s finish our adventures in Murcia!

• Puerto de Mazarrón
• Bolnuevo

First up is Puerto de Mazzaron, a charming beach town. In the harbor, there are boats that organize trips during which you can observe dolphins.

Another beach town that won our hearts was Bolnuevo. Think Beach, Bars and Bays, and Rock formations. All the ingredients for a tranquil holiday!

Our next post is dedicated to some randonautica!

An Escapade to Murcia-Part2

There are of course other coastal towns worth checking out

• Los Alcázares
• San Pedro del Pinatar
• Cabo de Palos
• Playa de Calblanque

If you don’t program your GPS For a certain street in Los Alcazeres, itwill take you to the center of town, which is not particularly picturesque. Better follow one of the arrows to the beach!

Cabo de los Palos is another quaint town with lots of bars and restaurants.

And why not do some exploring in the nature reserve of Calblanq and its beautiful beach. With a bit of luck, you can find the remains of Portman, once a thriving mining and fishing village.

In the next post, we show you the 2 places that impressed us the most!

An Escapade to Murcia – Part 1

Murcia is the name of a region, province and town. Just like Andalusia, it is an autonomous region, located to the east of Andalusia.

When we crossed the border between the two regions, we were aware of the differences. The landscapes are greener in Murcia and there are far less white houses. During our trip, we really felt somewhere else. Lars and I stayed in the coastal region, more precisely in San Pedro del Pinatar, one of the biggest places at the coast. It’s not a picturesque place, I would call it cozy, and there are lots of bars and restaurants. Not to miss are the sandy beaches and Las Salinas, salt mines where you can observe a lot of wildlife.

• San Pedro del Pinatar

In order to find Las Salinas, program your GPS on “avenida de las salinas”; there are 2 big parking spaces. Traveling on a budget? Keep in mind that tapas are no longer free here, but you can find a daily menu everywhere.
