Águilas
The Cuatro Calas Protected Landscape is located next to the provincial border with Almería. It is a small coastal strip of 222 hectares, in which small reliefs dominated by esparto grass combine with wadis and gullies, including the Saladar de Cañada Brusca and, on the coast, with sandy coves and cliffs. This area was declared a Protected Landscape by Law 4/1992 on the Planning and Protection of the Territory of the Region of Murcia. It is also a Site of Community Importance (SCI) and forms part of the Natura 2000 Network. A natural space of great geological interest and of high environmental value in which the absence of frost allows species unique in Europe to live here, such as the Cornical or the Azufaifo or Arto. Amongst its fauna, we can highlight the Black-headed Turtle and the Lagartia colirroja (Red-tailed Lizard). There are also birds typical of wetlands such as the Stork, and steppe and coastal rocky birds such as the Bonelli's Eagle, the Stone-curlew, the Black Wheatear, the Trumpeter Bullfinch and the Little Tern. This landscape invites you to enjoy our nature and its nature trails: 1-GR-92 Mediterranean Path. 2-SL- MU 18 Path of Cuatro Calas Juan Fº Mota Poveda.
