Bolnuevo and the Local Area
Bolnuevo is a small Spanish village located on the South Eastern corner of Spain,
to the West of the historic city of Cartagena.
Bolnuevo has a few shops, bars, restaurants etc., for your every day needs. It is an area of beautiful coastline with endless coves and approximately 35km of sandy beaches. Approximately 2 miles away is Puerto de Mazarron which is a typical Spanish fishing port.
Puerto de Mazarron boasts a number of gentle sloping sandy beaches, making for very safe bathing. The climate of the Costa Calida is one of the warmest in Europe and averages 300 days of sun per year. The shopping facilities in the port are good and the water may be drunk from the taps, though of course you may prefer to go to the local Bodega and purchase Gin, Brandy and Bacardi at a fraction of the price you would pay at home.
There is a daily market for fresh fruit, meat and vegetable alongside the fish market
Just one of the many Child Friendly beaches
Un spoilt beaches between Bolnuevo and Puerto de Mazarron. Excellent snorkeling and really safe bathing for children.
No wonder it is called the "Cornwall of Spain"
Puerto de Mazarron is approximately 2 miles away from Bolnuevo and is a very busy Spanish resort during the summer months and fairly quiet during the rest of the year. There are several discos and many bars and restaurants together with a good selection of shops including a vegetable and fish market. It is still relatively un spoilt and is not for anybody looking for a sophisticated resort. Obviously the demands of tourism have meant some changes, but fortunately these are restricted to providing extra facilities (banks, shops, restaurants, discos etc.) to an area which has not been spoilt by high rise hotels or apartment developments. Apart from the obvious swimming and tennis, other amenities include sailing, scuba-diving and there are several golf courses within easy driving distance. Heading inland takes you to a region of Spain completely un spoilt by tourism and unchanged for centuries.
