The Laguna de Fuente de Piedra is the largest natural lagoon in Andalusia and an important wetland in the northwest of the province of Málaga. It is best known for its large colony of greater flamingos, which nest here in spring and provide one of the region's most impressive natural spectacles. The shallow salt lagoon also attracts nearly 200 species of birds and is an important resting place for migratory birds. Surrounded by salt marshes, reed beds, and Mediterranean vegetation, the area offers ideal conditions for wildlife. A visitor center provides information about the flora and fauna, while birdwatching platforms and guided tours offer nature lovers exciting insights. The lagoon is an ideal spot for nature photography amidst a fascinating landscape.

The Laguna de Fuente de Piedra is also an ideal destination for cyclists who want to combine nature experiences with physical activity. The area offers a variety of cycling routes of varying difficulty levels, leading through the picturesque landscape and along the largest natural lagoon in Andalusia. The “José Antonio Valverde” visitor center serves as a good starting point for cycling tours and offers information about the flora and fauna of the region.
