The Flecha de El Rompido, nestled between the Piedras River and the Atlantic Ocean, is a small fishing village in Huelva, part of Cartaya.

The Flecha is its nearby, unique, and protected sandbar, a dune area over 12 kilometers long that is part of the Natural Site of the Piedras River Marshes and Flecha de El Rompido.

Monte Gordo began as a fishing village, but it was also one of the first cities in the Algarve to develop its infrastructure. Monte Gordo features calm waters and safe beaches, making it a very popular tourist destination.
