ALHAMA, CROSSROADS TOWN
Quite relevant crossroads in the way from the Mediterranean when heading for Andalusia, Alhama Town became one of the main outposts in the medieval war between Muslims and Christians, thus its watchtower, but it also stands out by its amazingly well preserved baths, first used by ancient Romans, then by Moors and eventually by locals from the late 19th century up to the Spanish Civil War, when the hot spring that supplied the water got dry by natural causes.

PORTMÁN'S MINING HERITAGE TOUR
👉 Ancient Romans claimed that "in no other part of the world has been found silver and iron in such amount and quality as in the mines close to Cartago-Nova". They proved that statement by working the mining sierra for nearly 600 years, up to the late 4th century AD, exhausting its silver wealth. By the mid-19th, when mining was resumed, lead was actually the star of the show, one that ended just 30 years ago, by 1992, but the techniques had completely changed, and open pit mining led to an ecological disaster with the filling of Portmán's bay with tailings.
📌 This is only a briefing of the story we'll be telling tomorrow from 10.30 AM, in our 'Portmán's Mining Heritage Tour", leaving from that tiny village.
CARTAGENA SEAFRONT TOUR
The latest addition to our events' catalogue: 'Cartagena Seafront Tour', including entry to the major cultural facility in the city, the National Museum of Subaquatic Archaeology, which houses the remains of the oldest complete ship found in the Mediterranean, dating from. 2800 years ago.

Remember that tomorrow we'll be setting sail again with our 'Cartagena Harbour Tour' to enjoy everything the so-considered best natural port in the Western Mediterranean has to offer, which is plenty, from coastal batteries and defensive fortresses to cute lighthouses. 3 hour long, 20 € per person, leaving 10 AM from the main tourist office but with booking in advance required just by sending a mail to: [email protected]
