Explore the Dunas de Artola
Cabopino, Spain
The Dunas de Artola preserve a rare surviving dune landscape on this heavily developed coastline. Different areas support plants adapted to shifting sand, alongside more established vegetation farther inland. Visit for the contrast with Marbella’s resort beaches and look out for the historic Torre Ladrones nearby. Keep to permitted routes and avoid trampling the dunes, whose vegetation helps hold the sand in place. Bring water and protection from the sun.
