Desembocadura del río Vélez, Archaeological site at Vélez River mouth, Vélez-Málaga, Spain
The Vélez River flows into the Mediterranean Sea, creating extensive wetlands that support diverse bird species and aquatic ecosystems.
Archaeological excavations at the river mouth revealed Phoenician settlements from the 8th century BCE, including storage buildings and metallurgical facilities.
The archaeological complex includes multiple sites like Toscanos, Cerro del Peñón, and Cerro Alarcón, which demonstrate ancient urban planning and defense systems.
The site maintains designated paths and observation points that allow visitors to explore while protecting the natural environment and archaeological remains.
The Jardín necropolis near Toscanos contains various types of Phoenician tombs, from simple rock-carved graves to complex monolithic structures.
