Laguna de Fuente de Piedra
Europe's major nesting area for the greater flamingo is a shallow saltwater lagoon. In February and March, these birds arrive from Africa by the thousands to breed, returning to Africa in August when the water dries up. Flamingo hatching time is April–June. In winter, regular migrants include cranes, best seen arriving on the lagoon at last light. The visitor center has information on wildlife. Bring binoculars if you have them. Guided tours are available in English (from €10 per person; book ahead online).
