Beschrijving
Apart from being a visually pleasing area to visit, this Natural park also holds some very nice birds. Especially Purperreiger was very easily seen in the area.
Apart from the birds, during my stay here I found it to be a extremely reliable site to see the majestic Ocellated lizard (europe's largest lizard). I found an adult male on the south bank and a pair on the side of the road, just beyond the waterfalls.

Toegang
The area is very well signposted in the vicinity. When coming from Ruidera just follow the road south, in the direction of the camping Los Batanes.
To get to the other side of the lake (seen from the road), take the car beyond the campsite. Just after the fenced rubbish dump kind off area, there is an unpaved path leading through some meditteranean woodland. I takes you around the campsite untilyou reach the banks of the lagoon. Whilst in the forest, look for Blauwe Ekster and several songbirds including Wielewaal. When you reach the lagoon, follow the trail as far as you like. Along the way I saw ocellated lizard (as mentioned) but also several other lizards and Spannish terrapin is very common in the lagoon. Red deer may also be seen.
