An exceptional weekend for Dénia's marine biodiversity. On Friday afternoon, the first of four nests at the "Turtle Camp" hatched, resulting in 48 hatchlings bustling in the sand.
On Saturday night, a second, unexpected hatching occurred. This was from a fifth nest, previously undiscovered, from which 80 sea turtles emerged. These Caretta caretta turtles began their journey towards the sea.
“"Seeing the little turtles flap their flippers and take hesitant "steps" towards the sea is a marvel. The prodigy of life."
The event, considered a marvel of life, allowed for observation of the young turtles flapping their flippers and taking their first tentative steps towards the water.
