Hi, we visited Carboneras many times during our year stay in the area. Carboneras is very very quiet in the winter months but still has a couple of playa cafes/bars open. There is a proper Mercadona Supermarket and a typical Spanish seaside small town centre with an old castle and lovely gardens next to it. We met a 70-something English gent having coffee and tapas on the playa, he was renting, been there for 6 months and he was an artist, painting away peacefully, with a stroll and coffee/tapas for lunch. Carboneras is also a vast industrial area to the south of town with cement works and aggregate quarry works and processing plant there. And a marina, with large industrial Port next to the aggregate processing works. It has a fantastic beach as well. Carboneras has a very good main road linking the A7 Autovista about 25 km away. The coast roads in and out North & South are spectacular. There are many places available for rent. It IS remote though... Hope this helps..
