March 15 Free guided hike up to the top of Cabezo del Mojón in Isla Plana

The route begins at the beach of El Rihuete before heading inland and uphill

This 8-kilometre hike, which begins at 9.00 and is expected to last three hours, is described as being “very simple”, although it includes a climb to the Cabezo del Mojón behind Isla Plana (officially in the municipality of Cartagena, although the event is organized by the tourist office of Mazarrón) which rises to 296 metres above sea level.

The walk begins at the beach of El Rihuete in Puerto de Mazarrón and follows the coast along the new seafront promenade, past the beach of El Alamillo to Playa Negra, before heading inland. The climb can be a fairly strenuous one but the views from the top of the hill are well worth the effort!

Registration can be completed online here via the regional tourist board website and the exact starting point will be communicated to participants after registration. All those taking part must bring at least one litre of drinking water!

Pets are not permitted!

Further information is available from the tourist office of Puerto de Mazarrón (Plaza Toneleros, telephone 968 594426, email oficinaturismomazarron@gmail.com).
