La Janda Lagoon, located in the heart of Cádiz province, was once the largest freshwater wetland in Spain. Although it was drained in the 20th century for agricultural use, the area still preserves a valuable ecosystem where water flows at certain times of the year, providing a vital refuge for thousands of migratory birds.
This landscape, comprising cultivated fields, canals, seasonal lagoons, and grasslands, remains a haven for remarkable biodiversity, playing a crucial role in the migratory route between Europe and Africa through the Strait of Gibraltar.
This wetland is a paradise for birdwatching enthusiasts. Large flocks of common cranes (Grus grus) can be seen in winter, while marsh harriers (Circus aeruginosus) patrol the wetlands year-round.
During spring and autumn, migration reaches its peak, with black storks (Ciconia nigra), glossy ibises (Plegadis falcinellus), and a great diversity of waders making their stop here. The area is also home to the endangered Iberian imperial eagle (Aquila adalberti) and the elegant black-winged kite (Elanus caeruleus).
Exploring La Janda Lagoon is an immersive journey through a landscape that transforms with the seasons. From the crane covered winter plains to the spring fields bustling with migrating birds, each visit offers a unique experience.
