'''Palmones''' is a village on the [[Bay of Gibraltar]] between [[Algeciras]] and [[La Linea de la Concepcion]] in the [[Province of Cádiz]] in [[Spain]]. The San Roque Refinery and Los Barrios commercial centre lie on either side of the town.
The village has a waterfront promenade with benches, offering views of the Palmones estuary and river.<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Garcia |first1=Ernest |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=lyDtDwAAQBAJ&dq=Palmones+village&pg=PA104 |title=Where to Watch Birds in Southern and Western Spain: Andalucia, Extremadura and Gibraltar |last2=Paterson |first2=Andrew |date=2020 |publisher=Helm |isbn=9781472986788 |edition=4th |pages=103–104}}</ref> The harbor is prone to oil spillage and is a catchment area for waste and garbage of yachts and other boats moored at [[Algeciras]] or [[Gibraltar]]. The beach is busy in summer and there is a beach bar that serves [[tapas]] and drinks.
There is a picturesque island in the river mouth. Although many tourists wish to swim there, the current is strong and can only be mastered by strong swimmers in low tide conditions.
Palmones has an abundance of fish restaurants.
