Portman

Located South of the municipality of La Unión, Portmán is a magnificent bay in the Mediterranean Sea surrounded by mountains that descend to the coastal plains.

The Romans founded this little village in the 1^st century with the name Portus Magnus, meaning "large port". The town developed significantly as part of the mining area of La Unión, mostly because of its naturally sheltered bay and port, making it a strategic location within the Roman empire. There are important remains from the mining periods in the archaeological museum, in addition to an old Roman mosaic pavement found in the Roman Villa of Paturro and considered the largest of its type in the Region of Murcia.
