Dunas de Artola o Cabopino

The natural monument contains three types of dunes: mobile dunes near the sea, inactive ones with vegetation, and fossil dunes with pine forests.

The nearby Los Ladrones Tower was built during Roman times and underwent modifications during subsequent Moorish and Christian occupations of the region.

The dunes serve as an educational center where visitors learn about coastal ecosystems through guided tours and informative displays about local species.

Designated footpaths guide visitors through the dune system while protecting the natural balance of this delicate coastal environment from excessive foot traffic.

This twenty-kilometer stretch of dunes emerged from the interaction between northwesterly winds and coastal currents that transported sand along the Mediterranean shore.
