Creek Cookers

COCEDORES


This creek belongs to the coast of Almeria and Aguilas. By their morphology often target families with children in summer.
Edu Soto
Its name is because it contains a few small dams built with stones to "cook" the esparto (soak in water for days and then sun drying for easy handling), which was the first transformation of a product that was the basis of local economy for a long time. What catches the attention of this area is its unique geology. Successive depressions and upheavals that this coast has suffered in different geological periods allow us to find a lot of marine fossils embedded in the sandstone and conglomerates of their mounds, which have been shaped by erosion agents leading to natural sculptures.
