Guardamar Del Segura, a thousand year seat of ancestral stories and mythical legends, is part of a unique landscape which man has been changing as he improves his way of life.

This natural landscape can be divided into three sections.

The Segura River has given a source of life and a channel of communication to various settlements throughout history. This Mediterranean shelter, rich in animal and agricultural life as the river itself, has nourished civilisations. The Dunes were formed by the dredging of the river along with deposits from the sea.These covered a large area of land and formed a beautiful landscape.

By his industry man has changed these three facets of the area. Around the river "la huerta" (a market garden) was created. Salt and food, cultural exchange, trade, art and language were brought in from the sea. The Dune system settled down and "El Pinar", (Pine Trees) area was created. Its aim was to stop the village being blanketed in sand and to improve the look of the place.

Guardamar's cultural heritage is defined by this natural landscape which shows evidence of ancient civilisations. These civilisations left us their history and culture. Today we can enjoy its archeological richness, its water culture, its religious history and Equis "X" tools which were used to transform the town.

Nature made the landscape and culture transformed into history which are united as never before in our beautiful Guardamar. This is a place where the world traveller can watch and become part of this magical and enigmatic place where dreams can come true."
