Resort/City Information - PUERTO DE MAZARRON |  | Although Puerto De Mazarron has been popular with holiday makers for over a century, only in recent years has the Port achieved it’’s identity as one of Spain’’s most attractive holiday resorts. The important commercial activities of fishing and agriculture still dominate the local economy, but the annual influx of families seeking a trouble free holiday in the sun is an important factor and of increasing importance in the area’’s development. The coastal areas of Mazarron boast some of the finest beaches in Spain, and the generally untouched nature of the coastline and countryside appeals to those who seek a tranquil environment for their holidays. The first foothills of the Sierra de la Almenara mountains, a mining area since Carthaginian times, shelter Mazarrons bay. More than 35 kilometres of unspoilt beaches, coves and rocky sea beds make it an ideal place to soak up the sun, do water sports and go scuba diving and try the local cuisine. In the port, around the fishing port and fish market, the traveller can get a taste of its seafaring tradition. Very close by are the defensive towers of Cumbre and Caballos. The Ciudad Encantada (enchanted city), sandstone shapes sculpted by water and wind, is another place which must not be missed. And three kilometres from the sea stands the village of Mazarron. Outstanding from among its buildings are the Mudejar coffered ceiling of the church of San Andrés, the convent of Las Purísimas and the ruins of Castle Vélez. Economic development at the beginning of the 20th century led to the construction of emblematic modernist buildings in the Murcia region, such as Mazarron City Hall and the Old Cultural Association.
