November 3 Free guided hike in the Sierra de las Moreras and the coves of Bolnuevo

A testing 7.2-kilometre hike along the wild and unspoilt coastline of Bolnuevo

This guided walk takes place close to Bolnuevo, where the built-up area of Puerto de Mazarrón gives way to the unspoilt, rugged Mediterranean coastline and a series of secluded coves below the steep cliffs.

It begins on the southern slopes of Sierra de las Moreras before reaching Cala Leño via the Rambla de la Paridera and then continues to other small beaches such as Cueva Lobos, Cala Amarilla and Playa del Hondón. A well-deserved 20-minute rest and perhaps a dip in the sea follow!

In total the distance covered is around 7.2 kilometres and the route is classified as being of medium difficulty, with 250 metres of climbs and descents. It is scheduled to take approximately 3 hours and walkers are advised that Nordic walking poles are appropriate.
