Palmones

Palmones is a village on the Bay of Gibraltar between Algeciras and La Linea de la Concepcion. The San Roque Refinery and Los Barrios commercial centre lie on either side of the town.

The village has a sea promenade and beach. The harbor is prone to oil spillage and a catchment area for waste and garbage of yachts and other boats moored at Algeciras or Gibralar. The beach is busy in summer and there is a Chiringuito that serves tapas and drinks. There is a picturesque island in the river mouth, and many tourists wish to swim there. The current is strong and can only be mastered by strong swimmers in low tide conditions. Any non local who attempts to swim over should seek advice from locals on how to attempt this.

Palomes has an abundance of fish restaurants.
