Cotobro, Beach and gully in Almuñécar, Spain
Cotobro is a gully and sandy beach located along the Mediterranean coast of Granada province, bordered by tall limestone cliffs. The narrow channel provides a natural passage to the shore and creates a distinctive feature within the broader coastline.
The area contains remains from Roman maritime activities, indicating its role as an important sea passage in ancient trade networks. These connections underscore the location's significance for Mediterranean commerce across different periods.
Local fishermen continue their traditional practices at Cotobro beach, using small boats to catch seasonal fish following Mediterranean fishing methods.
The beach is accessible on foot via the gully pathway, which becomes steep in some sections and requires careful movement. Nearby restaurants and cafes are located along the promenade for refreshments and meals.
Where the gully meets the sea, a transition zone forms where fresh water from the mountains mingles with salt water. This meeting point supports unusual plant life adapted to these mixed conditions.
