La Azohia

La Azohía (refuge or retreat in Arabic) is a picturesque fishing village situated at the most easterly point of the Gulf of Mazarrón around 10 kms east from the bustling resort of Puerto de Mazarrón.

 

The mountains finally recede behind a peninsula called Cabo Tinoso, giving way again to vast stretches of beach.

 

The village is in a truly beautiful location with several bars and restaurants and still closely bound by a backdrop of dramatic scenery before the gulf deepens further inland, which not only protects it from easterly winds, but also from further development.
