Activities to do in Costa Cálida
If you want to take part in outdoor activities and sports, you can choose nautical activities such as kayaking, sailing, rowing and scuba diving, that can be practised in different towns along the whole coast. Diving in Cabo de Palos is highly recommended. There, barracudas and corvinas can be seen and if you are lucky octopuses, that might have ventured out of their hiding place.
