Lagoons of 87 hectares that are one of the most important wetlands on this stretch of coast. Great location to see waders, herons and waterfowl.
The Salar de los Canos is a coastal wetland of saline character located in Vera, between the mouths of the Antas and Almanzora rivers. It is located in the final stretch of the Rambla del Algarrobo, and located in a place of discharge of local water systems. It was connected to the sea but urban development has isolated it. The Salar de los Canos consists of two lagoons with a raised landmass in the centre. Greater Flamingo is present all year round and Salar de los Canos is also a good place to spot White-headed Duck. But more than 150 other bird species have been recorded. Among the other birds you can encounter are Little Grebe, Sardinian Warbler, Northern Shoveler, Black-winged Stilt, Black-necked Grebe, Dunlin, Glossy Ibis, Purple Swamphen, Kentish Plover, Whiskered Tern and Squacco Heron. But many more, see the list below.

Espagnol: El Salar de los Canos es un humedal costero de carácter salino situado en el municipio de Vera (Almería), entre las desembocaduras de los ríos Antas y Almanzora. Se encuentra en el tramo final de la rambla del Algarrobo, y situado en un lugar de descarga de sistemas hídricos locales. Estuvo conectado al mar pero el desarrollo urbanístico lo ha aislado definitivamente. De todos los animales que pueblan este ecosistema, son las aves las que muestran una mayor biodiversidad y presencia convirtiéndose en la atracción turística del espacio. Aunque el flamenco común, presente todo el año, sea la especie más llamativa para el público, más de 150 especies han sido documentadas en este entorno, con poblaciones saludables de especies en peligro tales como la Malvasía cabeciblanca o la Garcilla cangrejera.
Salar de los Canos is located in the town of Vera on the A7107 at Vera Playa. You can park in the car park in front of Supermercado Consum. You can explore the area from there on foot and there are two viewing platforms on stilts.
