Saturraran, Golden sand and shingle beach in Mutriku, Spain.

The 300-meter stretch of coastline combines sections of golden sand with areas of smooth stones along the Bay of Biscay waters.

Originally home to a spa hotel in the 1800s, the site later became a women's prison between 1937 and 1944 during Spain's Civil War period.

A memorial sculpture by Nestor Bazterretxea stands at the location, commemorating thousands of women imprisoned during the Spanish Civil War and dictatorship.

The beach provides essential facilities including summer lifeguard service, showers, restrooms, drinking fountains, and a dedicated parking area for visitors.

Local folklore tells of Satur and Aran, two lovers whose tragic tale gave rise to the prominent rock formation visible on the beach.
