Portmán Bay is a coastal area that is interesting for gulls. Portmán Bay is part of a regeneration project. Mining activity began in this area at the end of the 50s until it was closed in the 90s of the 20th century. It made the natural bay disappear under millions of tons of waste, it is today the largest open-air mining waste dump in Spain. The raft that exists at the foot of the coast is used by water birds to rest and feed. Among the birds you can see are rumenonogi galeb, rjavi galeb, rečni galeb, črnoglavi galeb, sredozemski galeb, zelenonoga tukalica, siva čaplja and liska.
