Beach at a glance
What it is like
Cala de la Dolores lies at the foot of the Almagrera mountain range and is notable for its dark gravel, formed from slag from the area's former mining foundries. Its 150-metre length and 15-metre width form an isolated beach in a mountainous setting, with low occupancy and calm waters. The coast's steep gradient ends here, near Villaricos. It is reached by car from the AL-7107, with fewer than 50 parking spaces, toilets and litter bins.
