COASTAL VILLAGE

Boca de los Frailes

A small coastal hamlet in the heart of the natural park.

HomeVillages › Boca de los Frailes

Boca de los Frailes is one of those coastal hamlets in Cabo de Gata that exist outside of mass tourism. A few white houses, a seasonal bar, and access to unfrequented coves make up this small nucleus in the central stretch of the park's coastline.

The location is privileged: in a few minutes on foot, you can reach difficult-to-access coves that offer almost total solitude in the mid-season. It is a common stop for those who travel the coast by car without rushing.
