A little known but nice park. Specially great for photographing, as birds are very approachable, including very close, even if occasional Witkopeend.
Parque de los Lagos consists of 2 lakes and a channel that connects them. The surrounding vegetation consists of small fields and some sparse exotic bushes and trees. The closeby beach can be good for seawatching (Terns, Grote Jager, Jan-van-gent) and it holds the common beach birds. There aren't many people, even in August. The top lake holds a small island, which has Blauwe Reiger and Kleine Zilverreiger, IJsvogel and some of the usual waders. Both lakes have lots of Meerkoet, Dodaars and Waterhoen, as well as hundreds of Wilde Eend (both wild and domestic). Also domestic Grauwe Gans and domestic Muscovy Ducks. Small numbers of Slobeend, Krakeend and Tafeleend are present during winter. Also during winter, some rarer species might show up, like Witkopeend (mainly during dry years when wetlands are dry, up to 5), Pijlstaart, Kuifeend, Witoogeend or Krooneend. However, they aren't regular. Duck hybrids aren't uncommon. The freshwater attracts loads of gulls (most notably Audouins Meeuw), and may have some uncommon visitors on winter ( Stormmeeuw, Grote Mantelmeeuw). The channel might ocasionally have Knobbelmeerkoet, but again this is mainly during dry years and still uncommon. Look for vagrants (Notable records are 1 Kleine Topper in 2021 and 1 Jufferkraanvogel in 2015.) Passerine variety is low, but the place has a few wintering Boerenzwaluw. Some other birds might show up from the nearby agricultural fields, like Rode Patrijs or Dwergarend.
You can access the park from anywhere inside Costa Ballena. To get to the urbanisation, simply follow Chipiona signs, incorporate into the A-491 and enter the urbanisation from there. Once you arrived, park on one of the many streets, and enter the park from there. Wheelchair users can follow the main path, as it is easy to travel.
The urbanisation and park might be crowded during summer, but they're almost empty in winter. Though spring and auttumn may give you some cool species, but those seasons are better spent elsewhere.
