CP8

CP8 is a Mediterranean rice restaurant at Paseo de la Barra, 8, in Cabo de Palos harbour. If one dish defines it, it is caldero (the local fish and rice stew): it appears in hundreds of reviews and is why many people book here. It is prepared with the day's fish.

Rice dishes and fish

After caldero (the local fish and rice stew), the most popular order is caldereta, a seafood stew, especially the lobster version. The house rice with tuna and king prawns also has many fans. Fish dishes use local produce such as turbot, meagre and bluefin tuna. For dessert, pan de Calatrava, a bread pudding typical of the Region of Murcia.

A table overlooking the harbour

The terrace is on the promenade, right on the seafront, overlooking the harbour entrance and sea. There is also an indoor dining room. It has a good selection of wines, beers and cocktails, and takeaway is available.

Book

It fills up at weekends and in summer, and several customers stress booking ahead, especially for a table on the promenade. Find more rice and fish dishes at the restaurants in Cabo de Palos and La Manga.
