There wasn’t a coast road on the first half of the ride to Mazarrón, so I followed the road from Cartagena up in to the hills, where the scenery became increasingly rugged looking.

I passed through some small villages with traditional looking houses, then after reaching the highest point, enjoyed the excellent view which stretched for miles along the Costa Calida and then descended towards Puerto de Mazarrón. This view was a nice surprise and one of the best views that I had seen so far on the trip.

Upon reaching the campsite, I chose a space to put the tent which was next to the quiet beach that was adjacent to the campsite.
