Abstract Gonzalez-Acebron et al. (2016) attributed the coastal deposits of Torre Bermeja-La Barrosa area (Cadiz, SW Spain) to the Early Pleistocene (1.3 Ma). They also considered that an extremely high-energy event, such as a tsunami, affected the basal deposits of the sequence. In this paper, both the chronological attribution and the stratigraphic-sedimentary model are discussed. Previous information shows that Sequence 1 is late Pliocene-lowermost Early Pleistocene based on biostratigraphic, magnetostratigraphic, and regional-scale stratigraphic correlation. In addition, stratigraphic, facies, and sedimentary analyses indicate that sediments attributed to Sequence 1 were formed due to south-easternward longshore currents reworking wave- and tidal-dominated coarse-grained delta sediments deposited further to the north.
