Nature

When considering the dunes, you can classify the landscape, vegetation and wooden platform as separate aspects. This keeps the appreciation of nature differentiated and allows you to assign weight according to your own interests. The Dunas de Artola comprise beach dunes with a certain degree of mobility, inactive mobile dunes and immobile fossil dunes. The vegetation includes, among other species, marram grass, sea holly, the fragrant sea daffodil and shrubs of the species Sabina caudada. At the Dunas de Artola, 500 linear metres of wooden platform were completely renewed.

History

The structural description and the former signalling use can be understood as two separate historical perspectives. Torre Ladrones has a square floor plan, the shape of a truncated pyramid, three storeys and a terrace. It is a military defensive tower next to the Dunas de Artola and is designated as an asset of cultural interest (Bien de Interés Cultural). During the day, Torre Ladrones was used to warn of enemy landings with smoke signals, and at night with light signals. Approaching the site through its history allows you to consider both the architecture and the building’s former function.

Golf

Golf can be planned as a separate focus alongside nature and history. For comparisons within this topic, the number of holes, length and design are distinct details. Cabopino Golf Marbella is an 18-hole golf course in Artola Alta. Cabopino Golf Marbella is 5,170 metres long. Cabopino Golf Marbella was designed by Juan Ligues Creus. These specific details allow the golf offering to be assessed objectively, without mixing different travel interests.

Beach

When focusing on the beach, you can distinguish between supervised bathing and easier access to the water. At Artola/Cabopino Beach, supervised bathing in the sea is possible with amphibious chairs; advance reservation is required, and the instructions of the responsible staff must be followed. At Artola/Cabopino Beach, handrails facilitate access to the water for people who need them, without requiring bathing assistance.

The four topics can be read independently of one another; you can focus your attention on individual aspects and consider the descriptions in your own order.

For a holiday apartment in Artola, travel dates, room category and cancellation conditions are independent offer details. These three points can be considered independently, while nature, history, golf and beach represent the different characteristics of the destination for travel planning.
