Archeology in Mazarron. Roman villas

[by Javier de Blas in Puerto de Mazarron, Spain]  I know there are spectacular ruins all around the wide World, but these are the ones that make me escape from the tourist aesthetics of these coasts to evoke moments when the Mediterranean was truly “Mare Nostrum” (our sea).
The villa above must have been built aftere year 200 A.C. and leads me to imagine a Roman family living from its small horchard and its domestic salted factory by the sea. The one below is posterior and is on a more retired hill of the shore, in the present urban center of Puerto de Mazarrón.
