    This sandy area is a natural area of Petrel, in the province of Alicante. It is a huge dune formation that, unlike the others, is located inland instead of on the coast. It is made up of fragments from the disintegration of rocks that over the years have been affected by changes in temperature, wind, humidity, etc.

      The Arenal de l'Almortxó is a municipal natural area located in the northwest of Petrer, in the province of Alicante. It is a truly unique site due to its geology and biodiversity, and stands out as the largest active inland sandbank in the Iberian Peninsula.
