I’m starting Cabo de Palos attached to Cartagena; this time ANSE’s sailboat on Else, Southeastern Spanish Association of Naturalists. i see starboard Cala Reonawhere a nice walking route I usually do begins Photographers Association; crossing the mine mountain range next to the bluish-green water coves, he arrives at the large fossil dune appropriately marked for protection; the route continues through the Rasall salt flats There are bird watching areas and long beaches and small coves at the foot of Monte de las Cenizas.

We admire the preservation of this from the boat Natural Park of high geological interest. ANSE director Pedro García, who was recently awarded the Environment Award by the Ministry of Ecological Transition, describes plans for macro-urbanization with a golf course that managed to become paralyzed in the 1980s: “We stopped from Cala Reona to Portmán. Backed by the company Costa Paraíso, a German group that bought more than 700 hectares of land to build 4,000 homes around a sports marina.In those years we sought help from everyone to protect this magnificent nature.Although Cartagena City Council supports urbanization, the conservation was passed in 1986 by the Land Act The landscape conservation figure was applied, but only around Calblanque. It was reclassified as the Peña del Calblanque Natural Park in 1992. Águila and Monte de las Cenizas. If it weren’t so, now instead of seeing the Aleppo pines and native vegetation, look from the boat. Let’s laugh houses” .

Pedro joined ANSE at the age of 18, which will celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2023. Regional Geography Institute Murcia is holding a conference where Pedro will present achievements: conservation of wetlands, marine and terrestrial fauna, restoration of native vegetation, the Resalar project, etc. National under ANSE, its projects include opening a mission in El Hondo Natural Park (Alicante) to work on the Mar Menor and a study center in the Marchamalo salt flats.

It was built in 1951 in Denmark.was handed over to ANSE as judicial custody. As of 2015 it is owned by the Association. Thanks to this 15-meter-long gulet, many projects have been carried out to protect and monitor the populations of marine mammals, turtles and seabirds, to protect threatened coasts and to participate in outreach activities for beach cleaning. first ship Killer whalegoing into operation this summer.

Pedro García highlights: “At ANSE we develop projects where we harmonize the cultural, historical and natural heritage, such as the restoration of our headquarters in Cartagena: the 18th-century Casa Palacio del Almirante Escaño or the rescue of the quarries in Rome. Cartagena”.

Toward starboard we see Portmán.It has been waiting for its bay to regenerate since 1986 when Greenpeace and ANSE stopped dumping waste into the sea (23 tons per day for 33 years). Founded by the Romans in the 1st century under the name Portus Magnus, Portmán preserves the mosaic from Rome’s villa of Paturro. In addition to mining, Cartagena and La Unión had another cultural tie in 1934: the friendship of two great writers, Carmen Conde and María Cegarra. The two were friends of Miguel Hernández., who visited our shores frequently in those years. María Cegarra wrote about him:

He came ashore from inland and seemed to have descended from a fishing boat, an oarsman of waters and winds, an apostle of underwater lights, his skin boldly tanned, his bright whitish-green eyes hallucinated.

Aguirre’s Palace

I’m going to headquarters MURAM, Museum of Modern Art of the Region of Murcia In the Palacio de Aguirre building from 1901. Ángel Rodríguez, an expert in training workshop designs and a MURAM guide, said Camilo Aguirre, a businessman working in the mining industry, ordered the building from Víctor Beltrí, a Catalan architect with a training in architecture. The British and neo-Mudejar office managed to take another step towards eclecticism by combining rooms in different decorative styles, such as the French rococo ballroom, the imperial staircase or the neo-Gothic chapel.

Ángel may be talking about Cartagena for days, and I ask him to synthesize it: “Cartagena is full of treasures to be enjoyed to discover, such as the Church of Santa Maria on the Roman Theater or the Casa Maestre, which should have been the center of Rome. A Modernist museum, the Amphitheater already being excavated below the bullring. etc.” In Roman times, the port crossed the current Calle Mayor and reached Morería Baja at the foot of the Molinete. As reflected in a mosaic by Ramón Alonso Luzzy (Cartagena 1921 – 2001). Right in front of the monument to the columns is the house where my maternal family lived, where they took me as a child from Murcia on the Seat 600, through the winding Puerto de la Cadena. A few centuries ago, the Via Augusta, Spain’s longest Roman road, ran through it.

In the next episode, we’ll go down to El Portús to get to know that naturist corner they call it. Paradise.
