The headland of Cabo de San Antonio has been inhabited and used strategically since ancient times. The Iberians and later the Romans used this region as an observation point. However, while there are no explicit ancient records linking cetaceans directly to these cultures, the region’s long history as a maritime passage suggests that interactions with marine life, including dolphins and whales, were likely frequent. The presence of these species has shaped modern conservation efforts.
