We visited the Salines in May. No flamingos! Disappointing!!

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. Access to the Salar de los Canos is easy, and you can park in the parking lot in front of the Consum Supermarket in Vera Playa. From there, you can explore the area on foot and enjoy the observatories available.

This natural space covers an area of approximately 57.38 hectares and is one of the most important ecosystems in the province. The salt flat is located near Vera beach and is known for its rich biodiversity. Among the birds that can be observed here are the white-headed duck, the marbled teal, the squacco heron, flamingos, grey herons, black-winged stilts and mallards. In addition, the salt flat is home to endangered species such as the Moorish tortoise. The surroundings of the Salar de los Canos are ideal for bird watching and nature photography, offering a unique and peaceful landscape.

La Balsa de la Chanata is a mountain lagoon in the Sierra de Gádor, Almería, at 1,423 m above sea level at the junction of Enix, Felix, Instinción, Bentarique and Terque.

I recommend doing this route, since apart from doing sports, you admire the nature of the area.

Located directly on the beach / bike path and animals can also be observed there.

Very varied salt pans with many opportunities to observe flamingos and other birds.

There are several hundred of them spread across the various lakes. You don't see them near the observatories, but if you take the gravel path along the ponds you can see them clearly.
