Opis
The Embalse de Arrocampo is a large artificial marshland, created to cool of the water used by the nuclear power plant before flowing back into the Tagus. The water is surrounded by bulrush vegetation and the warm water supports a rich feeding ground for many sought after and truly magnificent species, most notably, the area holds a strong population of modrzyk. Apart from this emblematic species, many others can be found, as well as a fine range of amphibians, reptiles and mammals (most notably Egyptian Mongoose). Near the village of Saucedilla a series of bird hides gives excellent views of the birds.

At the Southern edge of the village of Saucedilla, near the football pitch, there is a small visitor' s center (next to the indicated parking spot) where you can get the keys to the 4 hides overlooking the marshland, be advised though, the center has rather strange opening hours, so check the internet carefully. The trail towards the hides starts just next to the Visitor' s centre. You can also drive by car to all hides if you want to.
