Cabo de Gata Natural Park offers volcanic cliffs, ochre-headlands, salt flats, hidden coves and a photogenic white lighthouse—ideal for dramatic coastal landscapes, minimalist desert-like scenes and night skies. Best at sunrise/sunset for warm side-light and long shadows; clear summer nights are excellent for Milky Way. Access is free but roads are narrow and some coves require short hikes or 4x4; parking available at main beaches (Playa de los Genoveses, Mónsul) — visit weekdays or early hours/
