The area is known as Guadaljucen. It is the mouth of the Aljucén river in the Guadiana river.
Embalse de Montijo - Guadaljucen is the point where the Aljuncen river flows into the Guadiana river. Being very close to the city of Mérida, the area is worth visiting to enjoy the birds that can be observed in the area. Especially under the bridge (Ex-209 Highway) there is an important colony of Λευκοχελίδονο. You can also observe different aquatic and other bird species in the area.

Taking the Ex-209 road from Mérida towards Montijo and just before taking the bridge over the Aljucen river, take the exit on the right (which leads to a fruit and vegetable center), and immediately make a left turn to cross the road (see the map). Once crossed you can park the car. Click on the P in the map for directions. Leave the car and walk a few meters until you see the water.
