Caleta

What is it?

La Caleta Site of Scientific Interest comprises two coves flanked by low sea cliffs and is home to three beaches: one central beach, characterised by its white sands, and two pebble beaches that have formed at the mouths of ravines that lead down to the sea. The area extends inland in the form of low hills separated by a network of gullies; it is a coastal zone, characterised by the presence of halophilous (salt-loving) vegetation and is home to a significant variety of seabirds both native and migratory.
