Chica de Mazarrón on Tour - A guide to La Azohía Pt 2

-

 


Leading on from part 1 of the blog....

Next stop was Playa de San Gines and a little walk to watch the fishermen along the rocks. With bars and restaurants all the way along, a couple of chringuitos on the beach and a campsite just up the road this is a very popular little beach - even at 7pm in the evening, during the second week of September it was buzzing!




My last stop of the day was Deskaro by Bongora for a coffee. Whilst it was a fabulous coffee, and they had lactose free milk, I was a little disappointed to have dinner plans for the evening as the restaurant itself and the menu looks absolutely stunning. This place is currently top of my places to eat and blog about list!



To summarise my short but delightful visit to La Azohíá I would say it is definitely somewhere I will be returning many times. With the diversity of activities, the vast array of bars and restaurants and stunning surroundings you could stay for a week or visit multiple times and never get bored.

The beaches are pebble and not the prettiest or most comfortable for sun-bathing but the area as a whole more than makes up for it and the beaches are perfect for some fun skimming pebbles. 




Parking can be a bit of a nightmare if you are using the beaches or mooching around.  There are a few charging car parks and on street parking but during the height of summer spaces are few and far between. The bigger restaurants do have their own free parking, for customers only. Please don't let this put you off visiting though, it is just a little fact I wanted to point out to manage expectations. 



The scenery, sunsets, activities and local amenities make this an incredible place to relax or explore and have lots of fun. I know this is somewhere I am super excited to share with friends and enjoy all year round. 

Un Saludo

THE COSTA CALIDA - The Warm Coast

-
Image
    The Costa Calida is the coastline of Murcia and runs from the North near Alicante, down to the South bordering with Almeria. Well know areas along this coast include the Mar Menor, Aguilas, Mazarron and Cartegena to name just a few. The original airport serving the Costa Calida (on my first arrival) was San Javier, a military airport also serving civilians. In January 2019 Murcia International Airport opened, which along with Alicante Airport provides an important gateway to our beautiful home.      Host to several mountain ranges, outstanding golf courses, national parks and spectacular coastlines, activities are plenty or if you prefer you can while the day away with stunning views, beautiful Mediterranean food, a cafe con leche or something stong if you wish - you really are spoilt for choice!        With an array of Spanish villages, cities, ports, harbour towns and ex-pat urbanisations there is something for everyone....

Reeves Butchers - The English Butcher in Mazarrón

  With the recent departure of the English Butchers on A, I thought you might find this blog of interest if you're missing your favourite cuts of meat and, of course, a good old British Banger! Reeves English Butchers has been around a long while, with their main shop in Torrevieja and more locally doing fresh deliveries to order across Camposol, Condado de Alhama, The Country Club, Mazarrón Town, El Puerto de Mazarrón and just about everywhere else inbetween.  With qualified British butchers, an extensive list of local and British suppliers the quality and range of their products is fantastic. Whether ordering for a BBQ, special occasion or just a good old English breakfast or roast dinner, I have never been disappointed.  I started using them during the lockdown and have to say I have never looked back. With various ways of ordering, either through their facebook page, WhatsApp, in their Torrevieja shop or through their camposol base at Luz del Sol it really couldn't be...

Florist Review - Floristeria Mari Jose

  This morning we were discussing what to buy a friend for her Birthday and that you don't see fresh flowers here in Spain, as much as you do back in the UK. A quick Google and we were heading off to El Puerto de Mazarron ... Situated in the center of El Puerto de Mazzaron is a cute little shop front, with plenty of parking and a beautiful array of fresh flowers.  On entering the shop there was an enchanting aroma of freshly cut flowers and two incredibly sweet ladies. With my limited Spanish and their helpful manner we had no problem at all understanding one another and putting together a perfect selection for our friend and at a reasonable price too.  The flowers were fresh, colourful and smelt amazing and I am confident they will last well and bring our friend lots of joy for her birthday. If you are looking for a pressie or just to bring some colourful joy into your home, please consider visiting these lovely ladies, sit...
