Curiosities of Cabo de Palos

Cabo de Palos is small in size but immense in character. A place where lighthouses, shipwrecks and fishing traditions shape one of the most authentic corners of the Mediterranean.

• The lighthouse at the end of the world
  Built in 1865 with stones from an old Renaissance watchtower, the Cabo de Palos Lighthouse is one of the most powerful in Spain. Its light can be seen from over 40 kilometres away.

• A true ship graveyard
  Beneath its waters lies the Cabo de Palos–Islas Hormigas Marine Reserve, considered one of the best diving spots in Europe. Among its wrecks rests the legendary ocean liner Sirio, sunk in 1906.

• Birthplace of the Caldero
  Cabo de Palos is the home of the authentic Caldero del Mar Menor, a dish born on the beach when fishermen cooked unsold fish. Today, it’s a local culinary icon.

• A real fishing village
  Despite tourism, Cabo de Palos keeps its working fishing port alive. Watching the boats return in the afternoon is still one of the most important moments of the day.
