Wild Boars Take Over Malaga Beach: A Day at the Shore Turns Unexpected

Wild boars invade a beach in Malaga, Spain. On Saturday, June 7th, 2025, a surprising event unfolded at Las Alberquillas beach in the Maro-Cerro Gordo Natural Park. Five wild boars—three piglets and two adult sows—were seen foraging for food left behind by beachgoers. Juan Olalla, a local resident from Nerja, witnessed the event and recounted the experience to SUR. "One of them even stole a bag of chips," Olalla stated. The presence of wild boars is becoming increasingly common in coastal areas of the province, attracted by food scraps. This incident underscores the growing interaction between humans and wildlife, highlighting the need for responsible waste management in natural areas. The unexpected visit of these wild animals serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between human recreation and the preservation of natural habitats.
