Azohia

Hi Everyone, 

We are on our way to El Campello where we will anchor for the night at 38d25'N, 0d23'W We have just left the beautiful anchorage off the little village of Azohia, on the otherside of the mountain from Cartagena. We took a bus into Cartagena - a beautiful 1/2 hour ride through the mountain pass. We saw the roman and byzantine ruins, newly discovered in the 1990's and only opened to public view 6 years ago - just imagine, an intact roman theatre lay buried and was only discovered when they started digging the playing fields of the school next door to build a parking garage! In the area they also found byzantine crypts for the carpenter's guild - this means the Greeks were occupying this area in Byzantime times, well into the period of christianity.
