At the end of the 19th century, local fishermen started building temporary residences in La Antilla. In 1946, there were about 50 such houes in the area.
In the 2010s, there have been different storms that have pushed back the coastline. The effect of the storms itself has been amplified by the instability of the coastline in the La Antilla area, as well as the presence of coastal works on nearby beaches such as the breakwaters of Villa Real and Isla Cristina.[4]
