Carboneras, Spain (No. 3)

The island of San Andrés is a small island in the Mediterranean Sea belonging to the municipality of Carboneras , located in front of the town of the same name, on the Mediterranean coast of the province of Almería , Andalusia , Spain . On October 1, 2003, it was declared a natural monument by the Junta de Andalucía .

It is accessible from the ports of Carboneras and Agua Amarga and the maximum depth of its waters is 10 mbsl.

These are two islets ("Isla Grande" and "Isla Chica") of volcanic origin off the coast of Carboneras , 400 m from Puntica beach , adjacent to the Cabo de Gata-Níjar natural park .

The main natural value lies in the richness of its seabed. The dark color of its crystalline waters is due to the considerable meadows of posidonia oceanica that surround the bottom of the islets.

The bottoms are wild and in them the existence of a volcanic crater can be observed . There are a large number of caves and cracks in the rock walls that accommodate a wide variety of marine species typical of the Mediterranean . Castanets ( Chromis chromis ), wrasses ( Coris julis ), skewers ( Sphyraena sphyraena ), groupers ( Epinephelus guaza ), mojarras ( Diplodus vulgaris ), obladas ( Oblada melanura ), breams ( Diplodus cervinus ) and thrushes ( Symphodus tinca ) are abundant.

Many seabirds take advantage of the abundance of fish. Among the most numerous are gulls (family Laridae ), terns (family Sternidae ), and terns (family Sternidae ).

The vegetation on the surface of the islets is scarce and is linked to the coastal flora .

Carboneras is one of the Almeria municipalities with the greatest fishing tradition that currently also exploits the tremendous tourist potential of its virgin coasts, which has cost some controversial urban episodes such as that of the hotel on the Algarrobico beach.

The practice of water sports such as sailing or scuba diving are other tourist offers that these coasts offer to natives and foreigners.

The best-known popular celebrations in Carboneras are the Moors and Christians festivities and the Bonfires of San Juan.
