Maspalomas Dunes, Nature reserve in San Bartolomé de Tirajana, Spain.
The 404-hectare sand dune system connects to a salt pan, creating distinct ecological zones with endemic plant and bird species.
The dunes formed during the last ice age when wind transported sand from an exposed marine shelf to the southern coast of Gran Canaria.
The Natural Dune Reserve earned recognition as a contestant in the prestigious 12 Treasures of Spain national competition.
Visitors follow 8 kilometers of designated paths through the reserve, marked by information panels and protective barriers for environmental preservation.
The reserve loses approximately 45,000 cubic meters of sand annually to the ocean, prompting extensive conservation efforts by local authorities.
