The Laguna de la Carrizosa is located near the town of Cabezarados, in the province of Ciudad Real. It is a small lagoon of volcanic origin, known as a maar, which was formed due to eruptive phenomena that created impermeable soils.
This seasonal lagoon is especially interesting for its botanical wealth and the diversity of aquatic birds that inhabit it, such as the red-crested pochard and the black-necked grebe. During the summer months, the lagoon usually dries up, but during rainy seasons it fills up, offering an important refuge for many species.
