Sunday is Market Day in Cabo de Palos and makes a great day out. I went down last Sunday and took some pictures for you to see.
Sunday lie in and late breakfast at home and then head down to Cabo de Palos 11.30 - 12ish. You can´t miss the market as it is heaving there, you do need to search hard for a parking space but head down some side streets and you should find one!
Have a wander around the market
Then head down to the Port and have lunch by the sea.
We went to Restaurante Katy which is just gorgeous, it is set on the beach, if possible book a table and ask to be seated on the terrace. Otherwise I advise getting there 1.30ish any later and you will struggle to get a table.
We had a superb salad for 3.50 euros
Followed by an enormous and yummy fish and chicken paella
The Paella does take 30 mins to prepare and must be a minimum of 2 people eating it, but well worth the wait.
Afterwards you could spend the afternoon at the beach, only a few steps away and have a siesta:)
Another option for eating which is equally as superb is Miramar, which is down on the port on the corner. Click picture below to go to their website and see the menu and more pictures.
There is seating outside with great views across the sea and the swordfish is to die for!
On your way home you could stop of at the Karting track at la Manga

Los Alcázares is just a short drive away, and a great place to go for dinner or to chill out on the beach. The word Alcázares is very difficult for people to say when they first come over, and people often resort to calling Alcatraz or Alka Seltza. But actually means Palace in Arabic! The easiest way to learn how to say it correctly is by stressing the sylable "ca" = al CA zares.
Throughout the year there are some great fiestas and things going on.
The Restaurant Encarnacion (description of how to get there on link above) is an old Spa hotel and is beautiful old building, well worth going down just to have a coffee and look. On the 29th of July and 5th of August they will be having Jazz Musicians in the inner patio from 8pm onwards. Entry free until full.
