Description
The Laguna de Fuente de Piedra is the largest lagoon in Andalusia. The nature reserve is located in the northwest of the province of Malaga. It's the biggest Flamant rose reserve of Europe. The lake shape is elliptical, with 2.5 km width and 6.7 km long. The rain is the only water entering the system, divided between direct precipitation on the lake, surface runoff and underground supply. The only way out of the pond water evaporation occurs, which determines its closed or endorheic character. After periods of little rain, the lake can partly dry out. The lagoon attracts a lot of species of ducks, gulls, and many other birds. In total, more than 170 species of birds pass throughout the year.
Thousands of Flamant rose can often be seen on the large lake, but often quite far away. However, on the small lakes surrounding the visitor center, you can often easily see them up close. At those small lakes, there are also three bird hides from which you can often get a good view of rare duck species such as Érismature à tête blanche and Sarcelle marbrée.
