Tómbolo de Trafalgar, Natural monument on the southern coast in Cádiz, Spain.
The Tómbolo de Trafalgar forms a natural sandy bridge connecting the mainland to an islet where a lighthouse stands at the cape.
The area gained prominence during the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, where thousands of soldiers lost their lives in this naval engagement.
Archaeological remains near the lighthouse include a Roman temple dedicated to Juno and a fish-salting factory from the ancient Roman period.
Visitors can reach the site through a side road from Caños de Meca village, with several marked paths leading to the beach areas.
The formation features fine sand dunes stabilized by marram grass, while juniper trees and mastic shrubs cover the older dune sections.
