La Avispa is located in the outer bay of Cartagena on the west side. The anchorage is mostly sand and there are some small sandy beaches, but no type of development exists. In the big bay are also large commercial vessels, mostly tankers. In eastern or southeast winds the place is well protected. High up on the mountain are several fortresses (Batería del Atalayón, Batería de Castillitos, Batería de Jorel) which can be reached on foot via a beaten track.
The wind should turn east again and so we drive the 5 nm around the mountains to La Azohía.

In Club Regatas de Cartagena there is a large washing machine (15 kg) which we use several times. We fill up our supplies like food, gas or water. Then the ship once basic cleaning, the Saharan dust of a good two months go. Cruise ships are at the outer pier during the day, so there is a lot of activity in the city during the day, and then it gets quieter in the evening. On the last day we visit another museum. On the last day we leave at noon, drive under machine out of the harbor and set sail. The anchorage is just 8 nautical miles, the wind comes from the southwest and we can sail. In the big bay some commercial ships (tankers) are anchored, we go in the back corner and lay down in front of a small beach. There are already a few yachts here.

The anchorage here in La Azohia is now quiet in summer and mostly visited by yachts in transit. On land there is a small supermarket and various bars and restaurants. Also, many day anchor boats are here. After more than a week at anchor in La Azohia, we have to think of bunkering drinking water. After Cartagena, there are only 12 nautical miles and we go with little wind now times with the machine. In Cartagena we go to the yacht club on the jetty.

In Spain, the rail network is much smaller than in the rest of Europe and so it is not common that a place with 30,000 inhabitants has a rail and train station. Anguilas is already an exception and the reason is in the past, when around 1870 the ore mines led the area to economic recovery and the iron ore was transported by rail. From these years, the railway network was built and expanded as well as the loading bridge in Anguilas to load the ore on ships. Today the station is still used for people trains to Murcia. There is also a small museum about the expansion and the dismantling up to the present time.

Four nautical miles off Aguilas is a new fish farm in the sea, and here are some dolphins. In the late afternoon the anchor falls.
