Bolnevo is renowned for the sandstone pillars carved over millenia by sand carried in the wind. These carvings are known as 'The Enchanted City'.Until the second half of the last century, Bolnuevo was a sleepy little fishing village on the shore of the Gulf of Mazarrón, just to the west of the large port of Puerto de Mazarrón. (In this picture, Puerto de Mazarron can be seen in the distance, beyond the large clump of trees that is the Caravan Site, and the big rocky island.) Small boats were launched from the beautiful 1.5 km (1 mile) long sandy beach and nets were laid in the crystal-clear waters along the shore.The fishermen's houses clustered along the back of the beach. Some still remain today. Such fishing still takes place (indeed it is sometimes possible to eat from the day's catch in local restaurants) but the village has now grown into a holiday resort that is very popular with Spanish families, especially in July and August.But even on the biggest Saints Day holiday in August there is still plenty of room on the beach!There is an ice cream parlour and numerous bars, cafés and restaurants, some with live music or discos for dancing (particularly in the summer months). Holiday makers of other nationalities are now beginning to discover Bolnuevo and its blue-flag beach. There is an increasing number of places where English is the main language to be heard. So while many of the restaurants serve typically Spanish menus, others specialise in English, German, Belgian, Chinese or even Thai food. The prices are equally varied but it is still possible to have a good 'Menú del Día' (three courses with wine) for €8 (under £6). To the west of Bolnuevo, there are many kilometres of totally unspoilt coastline with, except for the one small village of Calnegre, no occupied buildings until you get to Cabo Cope 20 kilometres (12 miles) away. [Cabo Cope is the distant, large flat topped rock framed in the fork of the left hand tree.]Beyond Calnegre the coast is low and flat (and a designated Turtle Breeding Area). But between Bolnuevo and Calnegre there are 15 small sandy coves served by an unmade road along the low cliffs. One of the most beautiful of these coves is Percheles. This palm-lined beach has a large car park and is the only one accessible by a metalled road. Like the main beach in Bolnuevo it is watched over by lifeguards in the summer.
The village is developing as a family summer resort with a mile-long beautiful sandy beach, local bars and restaurants.
