Naranjito

★★★★☆ (1,720)

Named Nadir in 1918, it is the most visited wreck in the Cabo de Palos area since it is located barely a mile from the port with a deck depth of 26 meters. On April 13, 1943, she was wrecked due to a leak in her hull.

It was carrying a large cargo of oranges that floated out, covering the coast with a singular picture. Since this event, it has been popularly known as “El Naranjito“.
