El Espigón

El Espigón is a seafood and grill restaurant on Carretera del Faro de Cabo de Palos. Almost everyone discusses the same thing: the unlimited menu, mentioned in around a hundred Google reviews, followed by portion sizes, which feature in dozens.

How the unlimited menu works

Each person chooses one of the set menus, and the kitchen brings out a long succession of seafood, fish and starters in portions designed to let you try everything. You can reorder your favourites without limit. Two customers put the price at around 30 euros per person.

What comes to the table

Reviews mention the same dishes repeatedly, both on and off the set menu:

• Hake
• Caldero (local fish and rice stew)
• Seafood platter
• Mussels and razor clams
• Tortitas de camarón (shrimp fritters)
• Langoustines

Those who prefer something other than the unlimited option can choose à la carte or the set lunch menu, which appears in dozens of reviews and is one of the most frequent searches about the venue.

What customers value most

Value for the quantity served is the most frequent praise, alongside fresh produce and the waiting staff, whom many reviews mention by name. Customers also appreciate the dining room staying cool on the hottest days.

Lunch days and dinner days

El Espigón opens for lunch Tuesday to Sunday and serves dinner only on Fridays and Saturdays; it closes on Mondays. It is at number 1 on the road to the lighthouse. The venue and toilets are wheelchair accessible. For other seafood restaurants nearby, the restaurant listings include those in Cabo de Palos and La Manga.
