Matalascañas: A legendary paradise at the gates of Doñana

Matalascañas is a unique place because it is literally the last bastion of civilization before entering one of the wildest places in Europe. If you stay there, these curiosities will make you see its beach and streets in a different way:

• The "Granite Plug" (La Piedra). If you look out to sea, you will see a huge rock protruding from the waves. It is not a whimsical natural formation. It is the Torre de la Higuera, one of the 16th century watchtowers that protected the coast from Barbary pirates.

The Lisbon earthquake of 1755 (the same one that destroyed much of the peninsula) completely overturned it. What you see today are its foundations looking to the sky - it's a stone shipwreck!

• The "Amazon" of birds at a glance You are at the gateway to Doñana, but what few people know is that Matalascañas is the best "hotel" in the world.

More than 300 species of birds cross here every year on their route between Europe and Africa.

• The town that "walks" (The moving dunes) Matalascañas is surrounded by a system of dunes that are alive.

The westerly wind pushes the sand inland, creating dunes that advance several metres per year. These dunes come to "bury" entire pine trees, leaving only the tops outside, creating a landscape that looks like from another planet (the famous "corrals").

The footprint of the giants (The Asperillo site)

Very close to the urbanized area, a storm in 2020 uncovered something incredible:

Neanderthal and prehistoric animal footprints (such as straight tusked elephants) etched into the fossilized mud from over 100,000 years ago. It is one of the most important hominid footprint sites in the world.

• Endless beach? Almost. Matalascañas has one of the longest beaches in Spain, but the curious thing is its limit:

If you walk east (towards the mouth of the Guadalquivir), you enter 30 kilometres of absolute virgin beach without a single building. It is one of the few places in the Mediterranean/Atlantic where you can walk for hours without seeing a single brick.

• Our perfect plan: Don't miss the sunset at the Marine World Museum (in the Dunar Park). The sun sets right over the Atlantic and the orange light on the white sand of the dunes is possibly the best free show in the area.
