Cines Cabo de Palos

Cines Cabo de Palos is the village's summer cinema: a site with three open-air screens at Calle Brezo, 12, each showing two consecutive films on a single ticket. It only operates in season, and summer appears in hundreds of reviews, almost always linked to the tradition of watching films under the stars with sunflower seeds and a sandwich.

Terrace chairs and cushion hire

Seating consists of classic white plastic chairs fixed to the ground. Cushions appear in dozens of reviews: they are hired out at the entrance and many people bring their own. Picture quality and, especially, sound get good marks for an open-air venue.

What you can bring

You may bring dinner, and a sandwich during the first film is part of the outing for many families. Inside is a simple snack bar with popcorn, soft drinks and sweets, and drinks are considered good value.

Tips before visiting

• Arrive in good time on busy nights, when there are queues and seats are chosen in arrival order
• Check the cinema's website for the authoritative list of films and showtimes
• Allow for the double bill finishing late if bringing young children
• Park in the free open parking area opposite, with accessible spaces

The entrance and toilets are wheelchair accessible, and Google lists it as a family outing. For other things to round off the evening, see the activities and leisure in La Manga.
