Mazarron Today

Mazarrón and Puerto de Mazarrón

Mazarrón is a coastal municipality in the south-west of the Region of Murcia which shares borders with Lorca, Cartagena, Fuente Álamo, Alhama de Murcia and Totana, and which has a multinational population of around 35,000 inhabitants.

Mazarrón's history is inextricably linked with its two greatest assets: the sea, which gives 35 kilometres of unspoilt beaches and a fishing industry, and its mineral wealth, the mines of Mazarrón exploited first by the Romans and then subsequent generations, reaching their zenith in the 19th century. The municipality takes its name from the town of Mazarrón, but includes as many as five distinct urban nuclei; Mazarrón town, the Camposol Urbanisation (which is home to many of the northern Europeans living in the municipality), Mazarrón Country Club (also popular with foreign residents), and Bolnuevo and Puerto de Mazarrón on the coast. The latter is often referred to simply as "the port".

It also encompasses a large agricultural area, with many smaller outlying populations of agricultural workers.
