DATA OF INTEREST
DESCRIPTION

The path runs through an area of plains running along the coast. The tour offers a privileged position from which to take in beautiful views of the watercourses and dunes and discover a unique ecosystem in Andalusia: the jujube. The deep roots of this plant allow it to reach groundwater and be leafy in midsummer. Thanks to this, it comprises an ecosystem in itself; they are the refuge for other plants and animals like foxes and rabbits.

In the vegetation we will find surprising nuances, in the fossil screes and the watercourses of the lagoons there is abundant birdlife.

As for culture, an old watchtower stands out, nowadays it has been restored and equipped as a viewpoint and we will pass near other traces of the historical past such as the remains of a Roman salting factory and a hermitage.
