May 2 Free guided history tour of Puerto de Mazarron in Spanish

See for yourself the legacy of the Romans, Phoenicians and other settlers in Mazarrón during previous millennia

May 2 Free guided history tour of Puerto de Mazarron in Spanish These days the municipality of Mazarrón is probably best known for its fabulous beaches on the Mediterranean coast, but for past civilzations including the Romans the area was a renowned source of material wealth due to its mines, fish and the salting process which enabled locals to produce the prized fish sauce known as garum.

Remnants of the past still remain, and among them are the remains of a Roman house in Calle Era and the old Roman fish salting factory in Puerto de Mazarrón, which is now also home to the local archaeological museum. As well as the salting tubs and other elements of the production line, the museum also contains artifacts from the Moorish occupation of most of Spain in the early Middle Ages and other items dating well back into pre-history.
