Archeology in Mazarron Prehistorians Phoenicians and Romans
Archeology in Mazarron Prehistorians Phoenicians and Romans
[by Javier de Blas in Puerto de Mazarron, Spain] Punta de Gabilanes, this small coastal promontory between two beaches where I have been swimming since I was a child, has remains of 4000 years ago, as a support for coastal sailing. It was also used by the Phoenicians as a commercial point and by the Romans as a factory to obtain silver, from ore mined in Mazarron.
Its a shame I can not draw these ruins directly. They have been buried for their protection. At least Im happy to draw the photo of the exhibition panel and then climb a rock in front of the site to imagine what the panorama would be like in those days.
