Parque El Batel is situated in the city of Cartagena which is located on five small hills called: Monte de la Concepción, Cerro del Molinete, Monte de San José, Monte Sacro and Cerro de Despeñaperros.
It is a port city open to the Mediterranean Sea through a wide bay. The port of Cartagena currently has two docks. On the one hand, Escombreras, where different industries are located, and on the other, the city itself. Between the two is the closest of our beaches, Cala Cortina, equipped with all the necessary facilities.
The natural port of Cartagena is delimited by the island of Escombreras (to the east) and the hill of La Torrosa (to the west). Its entrance is guarded by a series of castles and coastal batteries built in the 18th and 19th centuries.
The city is the seat of the Regional Assembly, the legislative body of the Autonomous Community.
In natural surroundings you can visit its two protected areas: to the west, the beaches of Cabo Tiñoso, among which is the beach of El Portús and to the east the beaches located in the regional park of Calblanque and Cala Reona.
