Charco de la Araña

A natural pool that appears at low tide

If you are looking for a special place to connect with nature, you have to discover Charco de La Araña. This is a natural pool that appears at low tide and disappears at high tide. An ideal place to dive in its crystal clear waters, especially if you practice snorkeling. The pool is located next to the beach with which it shares its name, and is close to the tourist complex of the municipal swimming pools. The environment is very pleasant and its promenade invites you to play sports by the sea. You can enjoy the scenery of the cliffs of La Culata, while seabirds fly over the waves. In addition, on the promenade you will find the impressive natural skeleton of a Baleen whale (Baleanoptera borealis borealis). This sculpture is a tribute to cetaceans and a reflection on the relationship of respect between humans and the sea.

Sustainability

- Never leave waste of any type lying around, including cigarette butts. Leftover food leads to a proliferation of rats and wild cats.
- Do not throw any waste or other objects into the water.
- Respect the animals. Do not bother them or feed them. If you see an injured specimen, you can call the emergency number: 112. Do not pick flowers or plants from the environment.
- Do not pick up or take away stones or any other item from the natural environment. And do not move them to pile them up into sadly famous 'towers'.
- Do not use soap or gel in the showers.
- Try to use ocean- friendly sun creams.
- Try not to alter the peace of the environment with excessive noise (loud music, yelling, etc.) or activities that might be bothersome, such as ball games.
- Pets are prohibited at many natural pools. Make sure you can take them beforehand.
