Cabo de Gata

Highlight • Settlement

Cabo de Gata is the southernmost town in the park and the closest to the capital, in fact this neighborhood belongs to the municipality of Almería. On its beach we can see the fishermen's boats that have gone out to fish at night.

San Miguel Tower, Cabo de Gata

Highlight • Monument

This tower was built in the 18th century to protect the salt pans on the ruins of a previous one that was part of the network of surveillance towers of Cabo de Gata from the Andalusian period. Despite being an Asset of Cultural Interest, it is in a poor state of conservation awaiting a restoration that is yet to come.

Cabo de Gata Salt Pans

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Cabo de Gata salt flats are a set of wetlands of natural origin but economically exploited as saltworks. They are part of the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park on the southeast coast of Spain. Declared a Ramsar Site of International Importance around 1990, this wetland is home to a great diversity of plant and animal species, many of them endemic or threatened with extinction, as well as a resting area for migratory birds.
The ancient lagoon, on which the current salt mines are located, is separated from the Mediterranean Sea by a dune barrier 200 to 400 metres wide; there is also a rugged terrain that separates it from the surrounding mountains. It was formed by the flooding of a plain that was below sea level and allowed the infiltration of salt water by simple gravity and wind action. The water came from the boulevards on the western slope of the Cabo de Gata mountains, mainly from Higueras Boulevard and Sabinar Boulevard.
