Sumario:Abstract: The identification and dating of Holocene marine terraces in the southern Bay of Cadiz has allowed the reconstruction of its recents coastal evolution. Since the Flandrian maximum was reached in the Bay, about 5000 years ago, a sea level fail is deduced for the Upper Holocene. The consequences of this process consisted in a rapid sedimentary progradation in estuarine/marshland environments and a progressive continentalization of former coastal areas. Meanwhile, the exposed sandy coastline has suffered a severe processes, like historical tsunami or storm waves) and anthropic (construction of clams in the fluvial basins affluent to the bay)
