Turquoise waters of incredible clarity, a virgin environment that is terrifying …

Los Escullos Beach.
One of the most spectacular sites .
Is the amazing, original, photogenic and mysterious fossil dune of Los Escullos.
100 thousand years old.
A time when the Mediterranean Sea flooded the entire area of Cabo de Gata.
And whose shape is the result of the whim of nature, erosion and the passage of time.
After the recession of the Mediterranean Sea, the dune was exposed.
And after this, the whipping of the wind…
The rain and the sand impacting on it, gave shape to this movie projection.
