    The Salar de los Canos is a coastal wetland located in the municipality of Vera, in the province of Almería, Andalusia. This natural space is characterized by its high salinity and its biodiversity, especially in terms of birds.

    The salt flat has two lagoons and is an excellent place for bird watching, including species such as the common flamingo, the white-headed duck and the squacco heron. In addition, more than 150 species of birds have been documented in this environment.
