Camposol was the name given to this development by Masa when they started to build on the land known as Los Palacios. When I first came here the locals referred to Camposol as Los Palacios. In 2004 I bought a Tom Tom sat nav which I still have and it does not show Camposol, it shows Los Palacios. Los palacios was famous from the 1800's as the waste dumping ground of the Mazarron mines which explains why there are large quantities of rocks especially on what is now known as A sector as that was where the railway line from the mines terminated.
As for the adoption of A sector I would be sceptical even though there has been much written in the local press, after all Mazarron Council announced that they were adopting the whole of Camposol just before the last council elections. We had street cleaning vehicles everywhere, all white lines were repainted and then after the election it was announced that they would not be adopting Camposol.
