Coral reefs, volcanic rocks, paradise beaches... delve deep into the beautifully wild landscapes of the Cabo de Gata Natural Park on this day trip from Aguadulce.

Cabo de Gata Natural Park Day Trip

After being picked up from the Viapark shopping centre in Aguadulce, you will proceed to the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park, the largest protected coastal area in Andalusia, showcasing diverse geology and geography.

During the excursion, you will visit the San Miguel salt flats, the coral reef known as the Sirens Reef, and the iconic Cabo de Gata lighthouse. The legend of this lighthouse includes a treasure hidden by an ancient sultan.

Next, explore the fossilised dunes in Los Escullos and head to the Amatistas viewpoint for panoramic views of the park's rugged scenery.

Then, visit the old gold mining town of Rodalquilar, where you can see the derelict buildings and factories that remain from the declined industry.

The last stop will be the coastal town of San José, where you have free time for lunch at a local restaurant (not included), with recommended dishes like rockfish and red shrimp.

After lunch, the group will regroup for the return journey to Aguadulce, where you will be dropped off at the original meeting point.
