Delta del Ebro
The Ebro Delta in the Province of Tarragona Catalonia is one of the largest wetland areas (320 kmsup2) in the western Mediterranean region The Ebro delta has expanded rapidly on soils washed downrivermdashthe historical rate of growth of the delta is demonstrated by the town of Amposta
Important Wetlands in Spain
A seaport in the 4th century it is now located well inland from the current Ebro river mouth The rounded form of the delta attests to the balance between sediment deposition by the Ebro and removal of this material by wave erosion
The Albufera is a saltwater lagoon and estuary on the Gulf of Valencia coast of the Valencia Community in eastern Spain It is the main porton of the Parc Natural de lAlbufera (Albufera Nature Reserve) with a surface area of 21120 hectares (52200 acres) The year-round diverse biodiversity of the natura reserve allows a great variety of fauna and flora to thrive and be observed
La Albufera de Valencia
Tablas de Daimiel National Park (Parque Nacional de las Tablas de Daimiel) is a nature reserve in south-central Spain on La Mancha plain in the province of Ciudad Real It is a wetland in an arid part of Spain Tablas de Daimiel (TDNP) is the smallest of Spains fourteen national parks
Tablas de Daimiel
It covers an area of 1928 kmsup2 As well as having national park status it enjoys international recognition as a wetland on the list of the Ramsaw Convention It is the core of the Biosphere Mancha Humeda and is a Special Protection Area for birds
The park is the last surviving example of floodplain wetlands located in the arid central part of the Iberian peninsula Being located downstream from the Upper Guadiana Basin TDNP play an important role in nutrient biogeochemistry
The wetland landscape is characterized by recurrent seasonal inundation which until recently was maintained by both river flooding and groundwater discharges The highest inundation comprises around 17 km2 TDNP is one of the most important aquatic ecosystems of Spain and was probably the main inland wetland It is important too because of the great amount of migratory birds that pass by the zone like ducks and geese Biological patrimony
Mar Menor (little sea or small sea) is a salty lagoon in the south-east of the Autonomus community of Murcia in Spain separated from the Mediterranean sea by La Manga a sandbar 22km in length and with a variable width from 100 to 1200m
It belongs to four municipalities Cartagena Los Alcaacutezares San Javier and San Pedro del Pinatar With a surface area of nearly 170kmsup2 a coastal length of 70km and warm and clear water which does not exceed 7m in depth it is the largest swimming pool in the world according to the opinions of the famous swimmer and Hollywood actress Esther Williams
Its relatively high salinity which aids flotation and remarkable sporting infrastructures make this one of the most popular places in Europe for the practice and training of all kinds of water sports
Phoenicians initially then the Moorish kings chose this small sea to install their summer residences here Today this place attracts all those who seek a quiet place to rest and relax with ideal climatic conditions all year round
Mar Menor
Dontildeana is a Spanish protected natural space located in Andalusia with 104970 has includes both the Dontildeana National Park (created in 1969) as to the Park of Dontildeana Natural (also called environment Dontildeana Natural Park or pre-parque created in 1989 and expanded in 1997) and its large expanse of marshes is home during the winter to numerous species of waterfowl which often reach every year 200000 individuals
Dontildeana National Park (Andalucia)
Here lie waterfowl of all Western Europe locating an infinity of species in the marshes and surroundings from Africa and Europe With various scientific institutions in its interior are responsible for proper development of the neighbouring regions and the conservation of some very delicate species that live in it considered the greatest ecological reserve Europa2
Dontildeana Mars
It was named for Dontildea Ana de Silva and Mendoza wife of the 7th Duke of Medina Sidonia It was declared world heritage by Unesco in 1994 In 2006 the Park received 376287 visits3
Fuente de Piedra Lagoon is a wetland situated in the Malaga province of Spain It is used by the pink flamingo for its annual reproduction cycle constituting the largest colony on the Iberian Peninsulaof this beautiful and delicate bird The lagoon is fed by underwater springs that pass through mineral salt deposits so the lagoon is saline indeed salt was havested until recently
Laguna de Fuente de Piedra
The lagoon covers an area of 13 square kilometres it is elliptical in shape its major axis is 68 km and the minor one is 25 km However it is very shallow in a good year it is less than 1m deep at its deepest point Evaporation is a major factor for the lagoon The Flamingos need a certain amount of water to breed and will desert the eggs if the lagoon dries out too soon 2009 was a good year for the Flamingos just over 5000 young fledged 600 of these were ringed
Laguna de Fuente de Piedra
The Salinas de Cabo de Gata are part of an area of outstanding geological and ecological value As ecosystem water have a singularity by the gradient salinity and relative permanence of the water
Salinas del Cabo de Gata
Salinas del Cabo de Gata
Of undoubted cultural value are the only remaining salt in industrial activity in eastern Andalusia The extension Salinas de Cabo de Gata and its location at the end East of the peninsula give this location aimportant role in migration housing an abundant and diverse aquatic birds
This are some of our natural treasures that today we want to show
because we have to preserve them for the future

It covers an area of 1928 kmsup2 As well as having national park status it enjoys international recognition as a wetland on the list of the Ramsaw Convention It is the core of the Biosphere Mancha Humeda and is a Special Protection Area for birds
The park is the last surviving example of floodplain wetlands located in the arid central part of the Iberian peninsula Being located downstream from the Upper Guadiana Basin TDNP play an important role in nutrient biogeochemistry
The wetland landscape is characterized by recurrent seasonal inundation which until recently was maintained by both river flooding and groundwater discharges The highest inundation comprises around 17 km2 TDNP is one of the most important aquatic ecosystems of Spain and was probably the main inland wetland It is important too because of the great amount of migratory birds that pass by the zone like ducks and geese Biological patrimony
Mar Menor (little sea or small sea) is a salty lagoon in the south-east of the Autonomus community of Murcia in Spain separated from the Mediterranean sea by La Manga a sandbar 22km in length and with a variable width from 100 to 1200m
It belongs to four municipalities Cartagena Los Alcaacutezares San Javier and San Pedro del Pinatar With a surface area of nearly 170kmsup2 a coastal length of 70km and warm and clear water which does not exceed 7m in depth it is the largest swimming pool in the world according to the opinions of the famous swimmer and Hollywood actress Esther Williams
Its relatively high salinity which aids flotation and remarkable sporting infrastructures make this one of the most popular places in Europe for the practice and training of all kinds of water sports
Phoenicians initially then the Moorish kings chose this small sea to install their summer residences here Today this place attracts all those who seek a quiet place to rest and relax with ideal climatic conditions all year round

Dontildeana is a Spanish protected natural space located in Andalusia with 104970 has includes both the Dontildeana National Park (created in 1969) as to the Park of Dontildeana Natural (also called environment Dontildeana Natural Park or pre-parque created in 1989 and expanded in 1997) and its large expanse of marshes is home during the winter to numerous species of waterfowl which often reach every year 200000 individuals
Dontildeana National Park (Andalucia)
Here lie waterfowl of all Western Europe locating an infinity of species in the marshes and surroundings from Africa and Europe With various scientific institutions in its interior are responsible for proper development of the neighbouring regions and the conservation of some very delicate species that live in it considered the greatest ecological reserve Europa2
Dontildeana Mars
It was named for Dontildea Ana de Silva and Mendoza wife of the 7th Duke of Medina Sidonia It was declared world heritage by Unesco in 1994 In 2006 the Park received 376287 visits3
Fuente de Piedra Lagoon is a wetland situated in the Malaga province of Spain It is used by the pink flamingo for its annual reproduction cycle constituting the largest colony on the Iberian Peninsulaof this beautiful and delicate bird The lagoon is fed by underwater springs that pass through mineral salt deposits so the lagoon is saline indeed salt was havested until recently
Laguna de Fuente de Piedra
The lagoon covers an area of 13 square kilometres it is elliptical in shape its major axis is 68 km and the minor one is 25 km However it is very shallow in a good year it is less than 1m deep at its deepest point Evaporation is a major factor for the lagoon The Flamingos need a certain amount of water to breed and will desert the eggs if the lagoon dries out too soon 2009 was a good year for the Flamingos just over 5000 young fledged 600 of these were ringed
Laguna de Fuente de Piedra
The Salinas de Cabo de Gata are part of an area of outstanding geological and ecological value As ecosystem water have a singularity by the gradient salinity and relative permanence of the water
Salinas del Cabo de Gata
Salinas del Cabo de Gata
Of undoubted cultural value are the only remaining salt in industrial activity in eastern Andalusia The extension Salinas de Cabo de Gata and its location at the end East of the peninsula give this location aimportant role in migration housing an abundant and diverse aquatic birds

Tablas de Daimiel National Park (Parque Nacional de las Tablas de Daimiel) is a nature reserve in south-central Spain on La Mancha plain in the province of Ciudad Real It is a wetland in an arid part of Spain Tablas de Daimiel (TDNP) is the smallest of Spains fourteen national parks
Tablas de Daimiel
It covers an area of 1928 kmsup2 As well as having national park status it enjoys international recognition as a wetland on the list of the Ramsaw Convention It is the core of the Biosphere Mancha Humeda and is a Special Protection Area for birds
The park is the last surviving example of floodplain wetlands located in the arid central part of the Iberian peninsula Being located downstream from the Upper Guadiana Basin TDNP play an important role in nutrient biogeochemistry
The wetland landscape is characterized by recurrent seasonal inundation which until recently was maintained by both river flooding and groundwater discharges The highest inundation comprises around 17 km2 TDNP is one of the most important aquatic ecosystems of Spain and was probably the main inland wetland It is important too because of the great amount of migratory birds that pass by the zone like ducks and geese Biological patrimony
Mar Menor (little sea or small sea) is a salty lagoon in the south-east of the Autonomus community of Murcia in Spain separated from the Mediterranean sea by La Manga a sandbar 22km in length and with a variable width from 100 to 1200m
It belongs to four municipalities Cartagena Los Alcaacutezares San Javier and San Pedro del Pinatar With a surface area of nearly 170kmsup2 a coastal length of 70km and warm and clear water which does not exceed 7m in depth it is the largest swimming pool in the world according to the opinions of the famous swimmer and Hollywood actress Esther Williams
Its relatively high salinity which aids flotation and remarkable sporting infrastructures make this one of the most popular places in Europe for the practice and training of all kinds of water sports
Phoenicians initially then the Moorish kings chose this small sea to install their summer residences here Today this place attracts all those who seek a quiet place to rest and relax with ideal climatic conditions all year round

Dontildeana is a Spanish protected natural space located in Andalusia with 104970 has includes both the Dontildeana National Park (created in 1969) as to the Park of Dontildeana Natural (also called environment Dontildeana Natural Park or pre-parque created in 1989 and expanded in 1997) and its large expanse of marshes is home during the winter to numerous species of waterfowl which often reach every year 200000 individuals
Dontildeana National Park (Andalucia)
Here lie waterfowl of all Western Europe locating an infinity of species in the marshes and surroundings from Africa and Europe With various scientific institutions in its interior are responsible for proper development of the neighbouring regions and the conservation of some very delicate species that live in it considered the greatest ecological reserve Europa2
Dontildeana Mars
It was named for Dontildea Ana de Silva and Mendoza wife of the 7th Duke of Medina Sidonia It was declared world heritage by Unesco in 1994 In 2006 the Park received 376287 visits3
Fuente de Piedra Lagoon is a wetland situated in the Malaga province of Spain It is used by the pink flamingo for its annual reproduction cycle constituting the largest colony on the Iberian Peninsulaof this beautiful and delicate bird The lagoon is fed by underwater springs that pass through mineral salt deposits so the lagoon is saline indeed salt was havested until recently
Laguna de Fuente de Piedra
The lagoon covers an area of 13 square kilometres it is elliptical in shape its major axis is 68 km and the minor one is 25 km However it is very shallow in a good year it is less than 1m deep at its deepest point Evaporation is a major factor for the lagoon The Flamingos need a certain amount of water to breed and will desert the eggs if the lagoon dries out too soon 2009 was a good year for the Flamingos just over 5000 young fledged 600 of these were ringed
Laguna de Fuente de Piedra
The Salinas de Cabo de Gata are part of an area of outstanding geological and ecological value As ecosystem water have a singularity by the gradient salinity and relative permanence of the water
Salinas del Cabo de Gata
Salinas del Cabo de Gata
Of undoubted cultural value are the only remaining salt in industrial activity in eastern Andalusia The extension Salinas de Cabo de Gata and its location at the end East of the peninsula give this location aimportant role in migration housing an abundant and diverse aquatic birds
