Salinas de Marchamalo y playa de Las Amoladeras
Salinas de Marchamalo y playa de Las Amoladeras, Protected natural area in La Manga del Mar Menor, Spain.
The Marchamalo Salt Flats and Las Amoladeras Beach cover nearly 2 million square meters along the southern edge of La Manga del Mar Menor lagoon.
The salt production facility established in the late 19th century included a modernist office building designed by architect Lorenzo Ros and a rare salt-grinding windmill.
Archaeological remains from 2500-1800 BC reveal circular huts surrounded by fortified walls, indicating early fishing and shellfish gathering communities.
The beach stretches 600 meters with golden sand and offers drinking water fountains, beach bars, and lifeguard services during summer months.
The salt flats provide habitat for endangered species including the Spanish toothcarp fish and numerous water birds such as flamingos.
