Otero de Sarriegos is today an abandoned town but it was formerly dedicated to the production of salt. It is right next to the Salina Grande lagoon and has been converted into a natural observatory where you can watch birds. It is an especially good place to observe migratory birds.

It's a unique stop on MTB or gravel routes through Tierra de Campos. Among adobe ruins, empty streets, and a solitary church, it offers a breathtaking and silent landscape, ideal for stopping and exploring with respect. Very close to the Villafáfila lagoons, it's also an excellent spot for birdwatching in the wild. Access is easy via flat, well-trodden trails, with no technical difficulties.
