Santa Pola

Santa Pola has served as a port for the nearby Roman city of Ilici on Spain’s Mediterranean coast since the Roman era. Beside the Bay of Santa Pola, the town combines a working harbour with the Salinas de Santa Pola, protected wetlands shaped by salt production and frequented by waterbirds. The 16th-century Castillo-Fortaleza was built to defend the coast against pirate raids and remains a central landmark. Ferries link the port with Tabarca, the small inhabited island offshore.
