Accesso
Although it is certainly a place worth visiting, especially for its beauty, there is only one accesible place, the observation tower near the reception center, which is reached by a wooden path in very bad condition (be careful here). Being a fairly large lake, you will need a telescope to be able to watch birds.

SíInformación extra
Information added by user Gulliver: Spring and Autumn are good times to observe large flocks of geese and ducks. But in summer, almost all migratory songbirds have gone and only low numbers of birds remain in the lake: Cormorán Grande, Ánade azulón, Avefría Europea, Ánsar común, Garceta Grande, Aguilucho Lagunero Occidental, etc. August is a good time to see Pigargo Europeo in their perch in the opposite shore of the lake (telescope). In the surrounding cultivated fields you will be able to see Perdiz Pardilla, Grulla Común, Cigüeña Blanca, Escribano Cerillo, Tarabilla Norteña and Alcaudón Dorsirrojo.
