Villacañas has a Lagoon Complex with several wetlands: Laguna Larga, Laguna de Peña Hueca Natural Reserve, Laguna de Tirez Natural Reserve, Laguna La Redondilla and Laguna La Gramosa. The set add an area close to 380 hectares of surface. When there is enough water it is a good place to observe hundreds of flamingos and other aquatic birds.
