September 30 Free guided hike along the Cuatro Calas coastline in Aguilas

Four beaches and a fascinating array of flora and fauna on this coastal walk in Águilas

World Tourism Day falls every year on September 27 and in Águilas this year a special free guided walk is being held along the coastline in the Cuatro Calas area in the west of the municipality.

The SL-MU 18 “Cuatro Calas” footpath follows a route which is entirely within the protected landscape of Cuatro Calas, or four coves, and thus allows walkers to appreciate the cultural and natural aspects which led to protected status being awarded to the area. Cuatro Calas has also been included by the European Commission in the Natura 2000 network as a Site of Community Interest, and contains the Cañada Brusca salt marsh, which is a candidate to become a botanical micro-reserve, and the volcanic outcrop of Punta Parda, which has been proposed as a Site of Geological Interest.

The “Four Coves” referred to in the name given to the area are the long beach of Calarreona and those of La Carolina, Cala Cerrada and La Higuerica.

The walk on Saturday September 30 begins at 17.30 at the beach of Calarreona and lasts approximately 2 hours. Participants will need to make their own way to the starting point.
