Dársena de Botes

Dársena de Botes is a historic small-boat basin within the port of Cartagena in the Region of Murcia, Spain. The basin sits opposite the old naval museum building and has traditionally been used for smaller boats. It also serves as the finishing point for the annual lateen sailing boat regatta, where the boats remain moored in the basin afterwards as a picturesque historic scene. Within walking distance you'll find the Museo Naval de Cartagena, the historic building Antiguo Club de Regatas, and Cartagena Cathedral, located about 300 metres to the northeast. Along the harbour promenade you can also see sculptures such as La Cola de Ballena and Los Cañones de la Dársena de Botes, both reflecting the site's maritime history.
