Tarbaca Island has a full time residence of around 70 - 80 people so I would imagine that if the trips were still visiting at that time then I would expect the shops and restaurants would be open, but maybe a bit limited.

In addition to tebo53. ( Although I have not visited for quite some time). The answer is yes. The restaurants will be certainly open. The shops are mainly limited to tourists (apart from the local requirements). Good time visit to go & escape the tourist trap. Two boat methods (from Santa Pola, glass-bottom to see the fish) & a fast boat) both enjoyable. I've stayed twice overnight in 1 of the 2 hotels. A good escape. Enjoy. V
