"Mazarron and surrounding area" Mazarrón by Mistycat

This is a very typical Spanish coastal resort, unspoilt by tourism, with no pretence of grandeur. You won´t find shopping centres and McDonalds here. Instead, there are lots of simple tapas bars and a small selection of souvenir shops. In the summer months of July and August, it is beseiged by thousands of Spaniards who have holiday homes here. This area of coastline has many beaches, the best being Bahia, Bolnuevo and Percheles. If you want a glimpse of the real Spain, this is a lovely place to spend a few relaxing days.

• Pros:Great weather, undeveloped
• Cons:Lots of plastic greenhouses along the coastline
