Heading To Guardamar Del Segura Centre. Costa Blanca Spain

Описание: ‪@freddynomap‬ Funny Facts About Guardamar del Segura:

The Sand Dune Drama:
Guardamar is famous for its impressive sand dunes, but did you know they almost swallowed the entire town?

Back in the 19th century, the dunes were creeping inland so fast that locals had to plant a forest just to stop the sand from burying their homes. Talk about living on the edge—of a desert!

A River with a Personality:

The Segura River, after which the town is named, has a bit of a wild side. It’s known to cause sudden floods, earning it the nickname "El Segura no se asegura" (The Segura is not secure).

It’s like the river has a mind of its own, always keeping the locals on their toes!

Guardamar's Guardian Gulls: The local seagulls have developed a taste for tourists' snacks.

It’s not unusual to see a seagull swoop down and snatch a sandwich right out of someone's hand. Some say they’re the real guards of Guardamar!

The Tower of Legends:

Guardamar’s ancient tower, the Castillo de Guardamar, is steeped in legend. One story claims that it’s haunted by the ghost of a knight who never got the memo that the Middle Ages were over.

Visitors sometimes swear they hear clanking armor at night—spooky or just a good marketing strategy?

Festival Frenzy:

Guardamar loves its festivals, but the annual Moors and Christians parade can get a little too realistic.

With all the costumes and mock battles, some tourists have actually mistaken the event for a historical reenactment gone wrong!
