A characterful fishing village and diving capital at the tip of the Mar Menor, with a landmark lighthouse, clear coves and renowned seafood—premium, tightly held coastal property.
Cabo de Palos, in short
A characterful fishing village wrapped around a landmark lighthouse, famed as one of Spain's top diving destinations thanks to the Islas Hormigas marine reserve. Expect premium pricing around €2,200/m² (sea-view and cove-front homes higher) driven by scarcity on the headland. Life is walkable and seafood-led, with the Mar Menor and open Mediterranean both on the doorstep. RMU airport ~30 min.
