Las Arenas Gordas is the name given to a Spanish coastal territory located in the province of Huelva, in the autonomous community of Andalusia. It is a coastal strip that runs from Huelva to Almonte, starting at the place called Chozas de la Morla (between Punta del Picacho and Torre del Oro) and ending at Punta de Malandar, on the right bank of the Guadalquivir estuary , next to the fishing reserve of the mouth of the Guadalquivir and in front of the beach of Sanlúcar de Barrameda.
Arenas Gordas is an extensive succession of beaches, dunes and chains of dunes. Most of this territory is integrated in the natural area of Doñana, although in the middle of the same was built in the second half of the twentieth century the tourist urbanization of Matalascañas. Its beaches are the Arenosillo, Mata del Difunto, Matalascañas, Castile, Inglesito and Malandar, highlighting among its dunes the Cerro del Trigo and Cerro de los Ánsares. Along the coast there are several almenaras towers built during the reign of Felipe II, that are the Tower of the Asperillo, the Gold, the Higuera, the Carbonera and Zalabar. There are numerous shipwrecks on the coast.
