Bolnuevo

On the fringes of Puerto de Mazarrón, Bolnuevo has long sandy beaches and hidden coves to the south.
Bullas

This medieval village, still guarded by the remnants of a battered castle, sits in a lush valley with endless snaking rows of vines. Wine has been produced here since Roman times; you can learn about its history at the local Museo del Vino. Good for rosés and red table wines.
Cabo de Palos

Inhabited since Roman times, Cabo de Palos sits right at the southernmost tip of the long spit separating the Mar Menor from the Mediterranean. An imposing lighthouse offers spectacular views of both seas and the rocky coastline. Despite the influx of tourism, the village has hung onto its long fishing tradition, and trawlers rub shoulders with yachts and gin palaces in the harbour. You’ll find plenty of good seafood restaurants here, but the star attraction is the proximity of the wild and beautiful Regional Park of Calblanque.
