Bolnuevo erosions or Gredas de Bolnuevo
The Bolnuevo erosions are natural sandstone sculptures
One of the best known features of Bolnuevo are the erosions, or gredas, of Bolnuevo, sometimes known as the “enchanted landscape”, a curious formation of naturally sculptured rock formations behind the main beach.
These limestone shapes have been formed over millions of years by wind erosion, and seem almost like modernist sculptures. The white clay of which they consist is a mixture of silica and aluminium, and is widely used in pottery.
The wind erosion has been made more powerful by the fact that the air carries particles of sand and seawater, and this is what has sculpted the rocks into such a magical landscape, reminiscent to many people of giant mushrooms which seem to defy the laws of gravity. Often the rocks are the backdrop for shows and concerts during the local fiestas, and many people even choose to have their official wedding photographs taken there.
The erosions are found at the western end of Bolnuevo's huge beach, just before the point at which the road climbs up around the headland, then drops down into the Sierra de las Moreras. It's well worth stopping to photograph the erosions, before heading over the top of the headland and into the Sierra or beaches beyond for a walk.
There are plenty of restaurants in the main area of Bolnuevo for a meal afterwards or a drink.
