Mazarron ( Bolnuevo)


Mazarron

We’d previously visited the site at Bolnuevo in 2013, we liked it then but we like it even more on this visit. It’s an exceptionally good site right next to a beach with a separate part for dogs. The entrance is adorned with flowers and a large water feature. In fact everywhere you go there are flowers and water features at this site. The main toilet block is almost a homage to a Busby Berkeley musical with a long water pool running through the middle with dancing water fountains that flicker with the sunlight, at times you half expect the leg of a synchronised swimmer to emerge from the waters.. To get to the shower section you walk up a majestic wide staircase full of cascading plants and flowers. A unique facility.

The site entrance is also just 100 metres from the area where you’ll find most of the bars and restaurants. Mazarron itself is about 3-4 miles away. A clean and tidy town with lots of large supermarkets.

We also like the fact that a 15 minute walk takes you into a national park with quiet beaches and bays, vehicles are not permitted here so its relatively quiet. We’ve been here about a week and intend to stay another 4 nights. Its nice to have our awning up with the chairs and table permanently in place.

This is also an interesting time as some of the Spanish arrive to set up there units for the rest of the summer. We’ve been observing a few over the last few days but our next door elderly Spanish neighbours have really ‘gone to town’. They arrived about 3 days ago with a large older Hobby van. They positioned this and then put up an awning. Then the next day a large fridge was delivered with a cooker. Then the proverbial ‘kitchen sink’ arrived and was plumbed in to the mains. The best bit was when they fitted a full pvc door frame and metal door to the front of the awning, no zipping in and out for these guys!
