Cartagena: Where History Meets Culture
Roman Theatre of Cartagena
Cartagena is a city steeped in history, dating back to Roman times. One of its major attractions is the Roman Theatre, an awe-inspiring relic of ancient Carthago Nova. Discovered in 1988, this theater is one of the largest in the Iberian Peninsula and offers visitors a remarkable glimpse into life during the Roman Empire.
National Museum of Underwater Archaeology
Another must-visit attraction in Cartagena is the National Museum of Underwater Archaeology (ARQVA). This museum showcases an extensive collection of maritime artifacts recovered from the depths of the sea, bringing to life the nautical heritage of the region. A perfect stop for history and archaeology enthusiasts!
La Manga del Mar Menor: A Natural Paradise
Beaches of La Manga
Heading east, you’ll find La Manga del Mar Menor, a unique strip of land that separates the Mar Menor lagoon from the Mediterranean Sea. Here, visitors can enjoy golden sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters, ideal for soaking up the sun or taking a refreshing swim. It’s also a hotspot for aquatic activities such as windsurfing and kitesurfing.
San Pedro del Pinatar Salt Flats and Sand Dunes Nature Reserve
Further north in the area, the San Pedro del Pinatar Salt Flats and Sand Dunes Regional Park is a protected natural area boasting an incredible array of flora and fauna. It’s a prime location for birdwatching—don’t miss the flamingos—and a fantastic spot for hiking and outdoor exploration.
Mazarrón: Coastal Beauty at Its Best
Bolnuevo's Sand Formations
Traveling south, you’ll reach Mazarrón, a charming town renowned for its striking coastal landscapes. One highlight is the Bolnuevo Erosions, also known as the “Enchanted City”. These fascinating rock formations have been sculpted over thousands of years by wind and water, creating a stunning natural wonder that shouldn’t be missed.
Beaches of Mazarrón
Mazarrón boasts over 35 kilometers of coastline, dotted with a variety of beaches to suit every preference—from secluded coves to expansive sandy shores. Its clear waters and thriving marine life make it an excellent destination for snorkeling and diving enthusiasts.
Águilas: The Perfect Ending to Your Journey
San Juan de las Águilas Castle
The final stop on this route is Águilas, a town full of charm and personality. Perched atop a hill, the San Juan de las Águilas Castle offers breathtaking panoramic views of the coastline. Built in the 18th century, this historical landmark is a brilliant spot to learn about the town’s past while enjoying its natural surroundings.
