Geoparque Costa Quebrada, Geopark in Soto de la Marina, Spain
Geoparque Costa Quebrada stretches roughly 20 kilometers along the shoreline and displays cliffs, rock arches, small islands, and sand dunes. These formations were created through thousands of years of wave erosion and movement.
The rock layers here hold fossils of Micraster, an extinct sea urchin from the Cretaceous period. These remains were chosen as the official symbol of this protected area.
The name Costa Quebrada means Broken Coast, referencing the jagged landscape that defines this place visually. The area draws visitors who want to understand how natural forces shape the world around them.
A visitor center helps guide people through the site and explains what they are seeing. Visiting at low tide reveals more of the seabed and tidal pools where marine creatures live.
Night tide walks let visitors explore the shoreline in darkness and observe sea creatures in unusual conditions. These special evening trips show a completely different side of the same landscape.
