Cape Palos, Mediterranean cape in Cartagena, Spain.
Cape Palos stretches into the Mediterranean Sea, forming a peninsula with volcanic mounts and connecting to the Mar Menor lagoon system.
Ancient records mention a temple dedicated to Baal Hammon on the promontory, which later transformed into a Saturn worship site according to Roman texts.
The local culinary tradition centers around Caldero, a fish and rice dish prepared by fishermen using Mediterranean ingredients and regional cooking methods.
The Cape Palos Marine Reserve provides designated areas for scuba diving, with multiple entry points and professional guides available throughout the year.
The underwater landscape contains numerous shipwrecks and extensive coral formations, creating natural habitats for diverse Mediterranean marine species.
