There are a lot of mosquitos by the salinas section, but otherwise a great walk.

The Molino de La Calcetera is located on Paseo de la Mota in San Pedro del Pinatar, in the Region of Murcia. Together with the Molino Quintín, these mills are prominent elements of the landscape of the Salinas de San Pedro Regional Park. Built at the beginning of the 20th century, their main function was to raise water from the Mar Menor to the salt ponds12. Although they are no longer in use, they remain as witnesses to the salt activity that still takes place in the area.

The mud of the ponds is the result of centuries of action of the sun and the very salty water of the Mar Menor. The result is a mud that, when applied to the skin, has great therapeutic value for all types of ailments: rheumatism, arthritis, gout, skin pathologies, rehabilitation after fractures, throat, etc. The ideal complement to the treatment is to take a bath in the mineralized water of the Mar Menor.
