Heladería Bico de Xeado

Heladería Bico de Xeado is at Carretera Subida al Faro, 3, at the entrance to Cabo de Palos. All its ice cream is gluten-free, and coeliac customers highlight the care taken over cross-contamination: let staff know and they fetch ice cream from inside, use clean scoops and serve packaged cones.

Flavours and serving options
