The Laguna de Talayuelas houses a varied flora and fauna. It is a freshwater lagoon settled on sand and clay soils. A nice area with surrounding forest and many birds you can see. Very interesting in June in order to see a migration of Eleonora's Falcon from some mediterranean islands for feeding on dragonflies. Other interesting birds you can see here are Buitre Leonado, Eurasian Woodcock, Red-legged Partridge and Pico Picapinos.
