In this privileged marine area, located between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, seven different species of cetaceans coexist that, depending on their migration routes, amount of food and periods of reproduction.

We will approach the animals with caution avoiding disturbing them, using the distances, direction and speed recommended by the Spanish Legislation and the ACCOBAMS Regulations. Any sign of disturbance in the behavior of the animals will be enough to move us away from the area. It is recommended to bring sunscreen, a cap, a coat and comfortable shoes
