Monumento natural de isla de Terreros e isla Negra

Monumento natural de isla de Terreros e isla Negra comprises two volcanic islands rising from Mediterranean waters off the Andalusian coast. Isla de Terreros and Isla Negra differ in size but together form distinctive geological formations visible from the nearby shore.

The two islands received official protection status in 2001 to preserve their ecological and geological significance. This designation recognized their importance as natural spaces requiring safeguarding from human interference.

The islands are a distinctive landmark for the fishing community of San Juan de Terreros, which has traditionally worked these waters for generations. Visitors can see how the coastal landscape shapes the daily rhythm of local life along the shore.

The best views of both islands are from the shore of San Juan de Terreros, where they are clearly visible from the beach. Bringing binoculars helps observe geological details and the marine life that surrounds them more closely.

The waters surrounding these islands contain extensive seagrass meadows that sustain diverse marine creatures and seabird populations. This underwater vegetation creates an ecologically rich environment that many visitors overlook when observing from the shore.
