Description

The Sendero Marambay begins next to the Molino del Arrierillo. From there you continue along a coastal path and pass a gate, entering the saltpans of the Salina de Dolores. You arrive at an observation platform which has good views of the interior of the bay and the marshes. You can see ducks, waders, gulls and Eurasian Spoonbill. The path continues to a second viewpoint from where you can observe Greater Flamingo. You can continue to the Arillo River (border between Cádiz and San Fernando). From there you have to return to the starting point. Among the birds that you can expect to see are Eurasian Spoonbill, Greater Flamingo, Little Egret, Sandwich Tern, Slender-billed Gull, Common Redshank, Dunlin, Ruddy Turnstone, Whimbrel, Common Ringed Plover, Kentish Plover, Grey Plover, Black-winged Stilt and Red-legged Partridge. In winter there is a chance to see Brent Goose.
