COME & ENJOY “A The resident association of Cabo de Palos, together with the Town council of Cartagena and the support of local businesses in Cabo de Palos, has launched the first “Ruta del Pescador” (Fishermen’s Route), a gastronomical delightful tour of the restaurants, bars, beach bars and cafeterias in Cabo de Palos. Each establishment that is participating in the event that runs from June 23rd to July 2nd, will produce a tapa, with ingredients which derive from the Mediterranean Sea. The idea behind this “Fisherman’s Route” is to try and raise awareness of the beauty of the Mediterranean Sea and the delicate eco system that is threatened by mankind’s thoughtless selfish actions. The artwork on the poster, promoting this first “Ruta del Pescador” was designed by students from the local school in La Manga as part of the celebrations acknowledging the 150-year anniversary of the lighthouse in Cabo de Palos. The artwork is made entirely from objects the students found in the sea and on the local beaches. The amount of plastic contained in the artwork is saddening and depressing yet also clearly addressing a real problem that is threatening the flora and fauna of the Mediterranean Sea. According to the residents association of Cabo de Palos “ If we all can work together to acknowledge that the Sea needs to be cared for and we as inhabitants of this planet should be actively trying to stop contamination then we have achieved something.”
