August 8 Free guided hike to the Stone Age settlement of Cabezo del Plomo in Mazarron

The circular remains of Cabezo del Plomo date from around 5,000 years ago

August 8 Free guided hike to the Stone Age settlement of Cabezo del Plomo in Mazarron Although it is not visible from the coastal plain of Mazarrón, the remains on the hilltop of Cabezo del Plomo are among the most important settlements found in south-easter Spain dating from the late Stone Age and the early Copper Age, approximately 5,000 years ago.

This period in human development of man was a transitional stage, after the Stone Age, in which hunting implements and tools were made of stone and flint. People were developing skills in smelting metals, but had not yet developed the techniques of combining copper and tin to make the metal which would revolutionise human society - bronze.

This guided stroll up the hill takes place on Friday August 8 starting at 19.00 and is expected to last approximately an hour, with participants requested to make their own way to the meeting point. The route takes walkers through the RAMSAR wetlands site and along the Rambla de las Moreras before heading uphill to the ancient settlement.

Children are welcome but it is the responsibility of parents or guardians to ensure that they behave appropriately throughout, and all walkers must bring at least a litre of drinking water, suncream, adequate footwear and a snack.

Prior registration is required and is available online here, with participants asked to supply ID or passport number and indicate if any members of the group are under 18.
