One of the characteristics of Matalascañas which sticks in the mind is the rock which dominates the beach of Torre de la Higuera, which is nothing more than an old watchtower or beacon which the surges of the sea have caused to collapse, looking upside down with its beaten foundations rising to the surface on the exact same shores which in other times it protected. Regarding visits other than the previously mentioned Parque Nacional de Doñana and village of Rocío, we can emphasise the museums Torre Almenara, which house the Centre for the Interpretation of thw Coastline where you can learn about the natural and human values of this area, and the Museum of the Marine World, where the world of the sea and its inhabitants are recreated amongst other things.![]() ![]() |
