Reviews Summary
Visitors rave about Llacuna de la Tancada as a spectacular natural reserve, especially for birdwatching and photography. The chance to see hundreds of flamingos and other wading birds is a major highlight. While the 10km circuit is best explored on foot or by bike, the accessibility by car to viewpoints is appreciated.

"Spectacular place to see Flamingos and birds in general. You can go around the entire lagoon (10km). During the route you will find 3 viewpoints, in all of them you can see birds and flamingos, but in one we saw hundreds. It must be said that the entire tour can only be done on foot or by bike, although a large part by car. If you like walking and taking pictures of birds, this is your place!"

"A beautiful place to admire flamingos and herons in particular, there must also be other species at other times of the year. Very peaceful place to preserve."
