Access

Northwest motorway, exit 4. Once you get off the motorway you go to the landfill facilities and in the immediate vicinity you turn to the left taking a paved road parallel to the motorway, immediately you turn off again, this time to the right to access an open area in front of the mountains where the remains of urban solid waste accumulate, where a large number of birds feed and rest.

Una vez salimos de la autovía nos dirigimos hasta las instalaciones del vertedero y en las inmediaciones nos desviamos hacia la izquierda tomando una carretera asfaltada paralela a la autovía, enseguida nos desviamos otra vez, esta vez hacia la derecha para acceder a una zona abierta frente a las montañas donde se acumulan los restos de residuos sólidos urbanos, donde se alimentan y descansan un gran número de aves.
