Descripción
This natural park in the mouth of the river Palmones, covers the only marshes of the whole Strait of Gibraltar. It's an important place for birds, especially in migration periods and in winter, with more than 200 species recorded. The marshes, intertidal zone and coastal dunes attract lots of wildfowl species, herons, gulls, terns and waders. The Espátula Común is easy to see in small numbers and it's the most important wintering area for Águila Pescadora in the Strait. Some of the main species are: breeding Chorlitejo patinegro, Lavandera Boyera, Terrera Común and Gorrión Moruno (in the orchards); migrants Cigüeñuela común, Flamenco Común, Canastera Común, Charrán Común and Curruca Carrasqueña and wintering Cormorán Grande, Aguilucho Lagunero Occidental, Silbón Europeo, Archibebe Común, Zarapito Real, Búho Campestre, Tarro Blanco (some years), Pagaza Piquirroja and Bisbita Alpino. The Charrán Bengalí is one of the annual rarities. Moreover, Silbón Americano, Chocha Perdiz, Zarcero Icterino and Escribano Rústico have been seen.
There is an observatory in the place called Torrejon Park, from where you have an excellent panoramic sight of all the area. In early spring, it is easy to see Críalo Europeo and several species of warblers and others songbirds in the forest and scrubland.
Palmones is also a good place to see migration of raptors, storks, swifts and swallows with the west winds.

Accesso
The best option to visit this area is to access from the south. Take exit number 108 of the A7 motorway towards Embarcadero Avenue. Then, in the first traffic circle turn right until a junction with a stop (you can see a sign for the Observatory for Public Use 1 km. away) where you turn left onto the Mediana road. If you continue along this street until the end, in its final section it continues as a dirt track to the vicinity of the Torrejon Park observatory, which you have to explore walking. If you turn right onto Cabo Ajo street and then turn left onto Cabo Finisterre street, you will come to an orchard area from where you can access, on foot too, the eastern part of the area, with wide intertidal mudflats, the dunes and the beach.
