La Playa de Matarascañas in Huelva is described as a typical family destination. It is over 5 kilometers long and stands as one of the giants of the Costa de la Luz. Its special charm lies in its harmonious coexistence with Doñana National Park, one of the largest biodiversity reserves in Europe. This enclave not only offers a unique natural environment, but also a bit of history in the quirky stones that stand out on the coast known as “La Piedra” or “La Peña”.
These are the ruins of the Tower of Higuera, a 16th-century tower ordered by King Philip III to protect the coast from attacks by Berber pirates. This historic detail added to the width of the beach makes this the perfect destination for those looking to get a glimpse of history while enjoying a day of sun, sea, and sand.
