Details
Access
The nature reserve is located between the town of Almenara and the beach, just next to the road CV-2310. Visitors mostly come by car (there is a parking lot just next to the road), but as it is only approx. 3 km from the town of Almenara you could also take a bike or even walk.
The nature reserve itself is then explored on a circular route, which is also wheelchair accessible. There are bird hides and explanatory panels along the route.
Depending mostly on the presence of water, a drive or walk around the surrounding rice fields might also be worth visiting! Sometimes even more than the actual nature reserve! See map for directions and (small) observation towers.
