Mazarrón throws a lot at the summer, and most of it costs nothing. From late May into September the town runs a steady programme of concerts, tribute acts, stand-up comedy, magic shows and family musicals, with the bigger names taking the main stage at the Complejo Deportivo. Diana Navarro plays on 18 July, Duncan Dhu on 1 August and Revólver on 8 August, alongside a jazz festival and a chamber-music series for quieter evenings.
Down at the port, the Paseo Agustín Herrerín handles the gentler end of things: poetry readings, film nights, food fairs and talks, all with the sea a few steps away. Seating is free but first-come, first-served, so turn up early for the popular shows. A handful of headline acts may ask you to reserve a place in advance.
