Common questions about Mazarrón

Yes, it is a quiet area. As in all tourist areas, you should be vigilant, but crime is generally low.

The infrastructure came later than on the Costa Blanca, and it is a bit further from Alicante airport. It is seen as an "up-and-coming" market.

No, the nearest Scandinavian school is on the Costa Blanca (about 1 hour away). Here it is Spanish or international schools (in Cartagena/Murcia).
