Surprising little oasis that's easy to miss. Saw chameleons, green tree frogs and lots of birds (of course). Essential to book in advance and, unusually, to arrive on time... (gate closes and you then can't get in)

(Translated by Google) Because it is a natural environment with a lot of vegetation, with ponds with different birds. What I don't like is that it is very surrounded by civilization and there are noises in some parts of the pond, since man has stolen a lot of space to build, invading an environment that benefits him and would benefit him more if he did not put his hands inside. (Original) Porque es un entorno natural con mucha vegetación, con charcas con distintas aves. Lo que no me gusta es que esta muy rodeada de civilización y hay ruidos en algunos sitios de la charca, ya que el hombre ha robado mucho espacio para construir, invadiendo un entorno que le beneficia y le beneficiaría más si no metiese sus manos.

2nd December saw a pair of Marsh Harriers flying over the marsh for around 15 minutes in the evening sun. An easy walk, flat and firm underfoot. Famous for its resident Crested Coots. Herons numerous species of duck, grebes. A great birdy place.

This is a very special place where you van find rare birds and some other rare species. The guide is very professional and make your visit even better.

(Translated by Google) Yesterday we visited the pond with the low expectation that it was only a <duck lagoon 🦆> To our pleasant surprise we found a natural reserve of humid areas and protected animals, from which we could see a great variety of beautiful birds such as storks, flamingos , redfish, ducks, among others! It is a place that is worth visiting and if you have time and you like nature, you can volunteer, since the preservation of these spaces is everyone's job! (Original) Ayer visitamos la charca con la baja expectativa de que solo era una <laguna de patos 🦆> Para nuestra grata sorpresa nos encontramos con una reserva natural de áreas húmedas y animales protegidos, de los que pudimos divisar gran variedad de aves hermosas como cigüeñas, flamencos, gallinetas, patos, entre otros! Es un lugar que vale la pena visitar y si tienes tiempo y te gusta la naturaleza puedes ofrecerte como voluntario, ya que la preservación de estos espacios es tarea de todos!

What an amazing hidden gem. I learnt more about wildlife photography in the painfully short two hours I was there in December, than the whole year. The guide I met was awesome. Be prepared to be amazed. So lucky to have places like this. Should be nurtured and respected.

(Translated by Google) Very bad attention from the guards. Absolute neglect, all full of greenery. You can hardly see any of the birds listed on the informational posters inside each observatory. A dead animal and nobody cares about it. Nice and endearing place but very left. August 2020 (Original) Malisima atención por parte de los guardas. Dejadez absoluta, todo lleno de vegetación. NO se ve prácticamente ningún ave de los que hay señalados en los carteles informativos de dentro de cada observatorio. Un animal muerto y nadie se preocupa por el.

Nature reserve with lots of hides - many species of birds and dragonflies

Website states that it was open but the gates were locked & a sign saying closed due to the weather….blue skies & sunshine !!!

Good birding as always.

Its a place of tranquility iñ a busy area

Good birding lovely peaceful place.

Very good reserve. Limited opening hours particularly in breeding season.

Fantastic nature reserve near the beach at Playa Granada. We had a friendly and knowledgeable guide to show us round the turtle zone and butterfly house. So generous of him (and others) to volunteer his time to do this. Took about an hour for us to walk around the reserve stopping at viewing huts to observe the wildlife on various lagoons. Lots of interesting birds (including a Hoopoe) and pond-life. Thank you!

Although it was supposed to be open 0900-1300hrs on this Sunday it was closed, locked with a note on the gate closed Saturday and Sunday 20/21 August. No notification on the website. So wasted journey from Malaga for us. Other unhappy people had travelled from Granada and La Linea.

(Translated by Google) Very good place to visit, especially for lovers of birds and photography. Please keep quiet, and if you go with children, keep them quiet, since sometimes we spend a long time to photograph a bird and excessive noises scare them away. (Original) Muy buen sitio para visitar,sobre todo para los amantes de las aves y la fotografía.

(Translated by Google) No information from the staff who just say good afternoon ..... and open the door. As for the wetland, some maintenance, cleaning and conditioning will not hurt and I know that this goes against the ecosystem and the birds, but if they cannot be seen due to excess vegetation ..... And I laugh at whoever is more friend to nature than I am. (Original) Nula información por el personal que se limita a decir buenas tardes..... y abrir la puerta. En cuanto al humedal, algo de mantenimiento limpieza y acondicionamiento no vendrá mal y ya se que esto va en contra del ecosistema y de las aves, pero si no se pueden ver por exceso de vegetación..... Y me rio yo de quien sea más amigo de la naturaleza que yo.
