Salinas de San Pedro

Región de Murcia  >  Spain

A nice walk among the salt pools, where birds and tradition come together in a respectful way of getting resources, while allowing animals to breed and forage.

Descrição

The area around the Salinas de San Pedro is divided in two zones: the salt pools and the dunes. The first ones are the most worth visting, as they have the highest amount and variety of birds. There are some high-salt shallow pools, surrounded by higher areas of land, with halphile vegetation on them, and some islands where birds tend to rest. The most oustanding birds are Flamingo-comum, as well as Pato-branco and lots of plovers and sandpipers.

The dunes area is closer to the actual beach, and is mainly a pine forest with dune vegetation under the trees, with some open spaces of sand. When it rains, some open areas get flooded and turn into small ponds, where birds like Pato-branco go to feed. However, the most common birds of this habitat are small ones, with the presence of Rola-comum, Cotovia-de-poupa and picanço-real, which move from the tree tops to the ground to feed.

Detalhes

Acesso

To enter the area you can go both by car, by bike or by foot, as there is a road in the middle of the pools with two walkways next to it. You can park at the end of it, as there are some slots, however, there are not many parking places, so they usually get full. The dune area can only be accessed on foot, as there are some wooden platforms built for going to the actual beach. The walk is quite short, it is just 10 minutes from the nearest village.
