Access
Dehesa de Abajo visitor center has a large parking area. Press P on the map for directions (Note that Google sometimes wants to direct you to unpaved roads, but stay on the main roads until you get to the entrance. Also a good restaurant. There is also a nice camper place at the visitor center. Many great walks and cycling routes on site. The main path leads to the two bird hides on the edge of the wetland. Another path leads to a less interesting viewpoint. The walking paths are poorly maintained, but still easy to walk.
In the immediate vicinity is also a bird park Canada de los Pajaros. From la Puebla del Rio follow the A8050, then SE3302. Go straight on at the 1st roundabout. Keep left at the next roundabout on the SE3302.
