First visit in July. Questions.

I am assuming you mean lunches in Camposol - there are plenty of restaurants on Sectors A and B but personally we don't use them - lunch at the Golf Club is good with lovely views. We tend to go to the Port if we are having lunch or sit outside one of the retaurants across from the beach. Bahia Bay you have Bangalore resturant (Spanish food) or there are other pop ups along the bay also.  A few restaurants opposite the beach leading into the old marina in Puerto Mazarron or through into the mariana and Leonardos at the end.

You have a lot of choice restaurants wise along the persao in the Port and new marina - we like going to Privvie for a relaxing coffee and watching the boats - you walk up the marina to your right and take a right at the end and along right on the end is Privvie.

Car parking in Mazarron is free if you can get a space in the old market square fine but generally we park up the road as you are coming into Mazarron just up from Darios or further down wherever you can find a legitimate parking space (not in front of garages). In the Port there is an underground car park which I believe you have to pay for but generally, again, find a legitimate space and park - at the other end of the persao there is an open air carpark by the beach and its free.

Pointer - during July and August I would say leave early to get a car parking space as the Spanish children are on their school holidays and then August the whole families are on their holidays.

Villages - not in the area you specify but I would suggest old Mojacar the white Spanish village up on a hill - go on the AP7 then the A7 heading towards Aguillas.

Good luck and enjoy.

Thanks KarenP for your detailed reply it’s very kind and will help a lot. Only visiting Camposol for the day so I will try the golf club for lunch and fingers crossed I might bump into some green keepers as well as locals. I will take your advice and get to Mazarron early one day. 

My apologies regarding directions re Mojacar - you would have passed Aguillas I meant to say Almeria.

The golf club does not serve food on a Monday as they have a full on day of carvery on a Sunday and you always have to reserve.I thinks they are starting up the bbq serving food etc. The guys that own the lease are Colin and son-in-law Richard (I think that is the s-i-l name - he would be good to talk to), Pete is the bar manager.

Brilliant thanks I think I will visit Camposol on Saturday then hopefully lunch at golf club and a good drive around. No need to apologise you are a star. Regards, Dave.
