DATA OF INTEREST
DESCRIPTION
This path runs through a marsh and is totally free from the influence of the tide. As in the El Almendral area, human activity is evident.
The starting point of the Acebuchal hiking trail is located a few metres from the El Almendral hiking trail, along the Dique Juan Carlos I road. It follows a route along the spit of the same name. It is a narrow strip of consolidated sands completely surrounded by marshes and floodplains. The hiking trail follows a route running parallel to the El Acebuchal channel, which constitutes the northern limit of the spit, so that most of the forest mass that has colonised this extension of emerged land extends to the left of the route. In this case, the plant domain is made up of tree species that tolerate the salinity of the environment such as stone pine, maritime juniper and wild olive. Under the cover of the trees there are hardly any remains of scrub, having been replaced by cereal pastures due to the use by livestock in this part of the marsh.
On the other side of the path, the Estero del Acebuchal marsh extends and the vegetation is limited to the riverbanks where several halophyte species, capable of resisting high levels of salinity in the substrate, grow, these are principally arthrocnemum macrostachyum, espartina and salicornia.
We can easily see the use by livestock such as sheep and horses, which has conditioned the evolution of the vegetation, as well as the proximity of cereal crops and a eucalyptus forest.
