This marsh is a refuge for aquatic flora and fauna. It is also an important area for growing rice and other fruit trees, especially citrus.

If you’re looking for a peaceful and scenic day out in nature, Marjal de Pego-Oliva Natural Park is a hidden gem worth exploring. It’s a beautiful wetland area located between the towns of Pego and Oliva on the Costa Blanca, full of wildlife, rice fields, and freshwater springs.

🚶‍♂️ What to Do There
• Walk or cycle the trails: There are several easy routes, including wooden boardwalks over the marsh, great for families or casual walkers. One of the most popular paths is the Ruta del Bullent, a circular walk that brings you close to rivers, rice fields, and the famous natural spring.
• Swim in the Font Salada: This is a warm natural spring (about 21–24°C all year) where you can take a dip. The water is known for its skin-healing properties.
• Birdwatching: The area is rich in biodiversity, with herons, ducks, and even rare fish and turtles. Bring binoculars if you can.
• Enjoy the peaceful views: There are viewing platforms offering panoramic vistas of the marshes and surrounding mountains.

🧭 Tips for Your Visit
• Follow the marked trails to protect the environment and avoid getting lost.
• Bring water and sun protection, especially in summer.
• Respect nature: take your trash with you, keep noise down, and don’t disturb animals or plants.
• Avoid weekends in high season if you prefer quiet – it can get busy, especially at the spring.

🚗 Getting There & Parking

Access is easy from the N-332 or the CV-700. If you’re visiting Font Salada, note that parking has recently been restricted. There’s a new small car park nearby (Racó del Fuster), and the spring is a short walk from there.

It’s a perfect half-day trip, especially if you’re staying near Denia, Oliva, Jávea or inland in places like Pego or Alcalalí. Ideal for nature lovers, photographers, families, or anyone needing a peaceful break in nature.
