From the Cove of Reona to the Small Calblanque Windmills

This route goes along the coast of the Calblanque Regional Park. The trail starts in lovely Cala Reona, Cabo de Palos (by the way, "cala" is the Spanish word for "cove").  At the end of Cala Reona there is a sign for the Cablanque Regional Park announcing the start of a trail that ends in Portman.

 

This itinerary goes along the coast most of the time, with wonderful views of beaches and landscapes such as: Cala Reona, Atalayón, Punta Barriga, Punta Espada, Cala de los Déntoles, Punta Negra, Cala Magre, Cala Arturo, Calblanque beach, Punta Blanca, Rasall Salt Flats, bird observatory, Timba (coastal area with no sand where fossil dunes meet the sea), Cañas beach and lastly the two small windmills of Calblanque installed in early 2014.

 

These windmills, built with the idea of ensuring water supply to the Rasall Salt Flats, pump water with the energy generated by the wind. The windmills are located between the beach of Calblanque and the reeds nearby.

 

If you are not too tired at this point, keep walking to the beaches Larga, Negrete and lastly Parreño. This trail can only be enjoyed on foot or by bike, so no annoying motor vehicles in this one!
