DATA OF INTEREST
DESCRIPTION

This short and easy trail shows the Zóñar lagoon and its surroundings. It begins with a panoramic view from the viewpoint, with interesting information about the deepest lagoon in Andalusia. Then we will enter the agricultural countryside, dotted with repopulated Mediterranean plants and rabbit burrows.

Trills and aromas will accompany us to the edge of the lagoon, where the observatory is located. Here, in addition to relaxing with the views, we will find information panels about the birds, such as the white-headed duck, a diving duck, saved here from extinction.

The observation of these birds makes it easier for us to understand the biological richness of this wetland of permanent and slightly brackish waters which can reach a maximum depth of 16 metres, and is the only natural lake in Andalusia.
