The Laguna del Conde (also known as Laguna del Salobral) is an important wetland that serves as a habitat for numerous bird species such as flamingos, cormorants, and ducks. Along the Vía Verde, there are viewpoints from which visitors can observe the wildlife.

The Martín Gonzalo Reservoir is located on the Martín Gonzalo stream, in the municipalities of Montoro and Cardeña, in the province of Córdoba. The dam was built in 1983 and began operating in 1987. The natural surroundings of the reservoir are very picturesque, with a rich biodiversity that includes various species of flora and fauna. It is an ideal place to enjoy nature and do outdoor activities.

The Lagoon del Conde or Salobral Lagoon is a temporary lagoon that reaches a maximum flood level in spring and subsides in summer. The lagoon is filled by rainfall that falls directly on the surface of the lagoon and by surface runoff from its catchment area, particularly from the Carrascón stream. The lagoon is on the migratory route that many birds follow towards the African continent in northeastern Europe. Like the rest of the wetland areas south of Córdoba, the Salobral Lagoon is integrated into the European Natura 2000 network.

This lagoon, which belongs to the municipality of Luque, is the largest of all the seasonal waters in the province of Córdoba, with a surface area of 46.6 hectares. It was declared a nature reserve in 1989 due to its special value as a wintering and breeding ground for migratory birds. Due to the gentle slope of the terrain and its shallow depth, the wetland is home to numerous wading birds that use the lagoon as a passage and breeding area. The main bird species are the black-winged stilt, the European lapwing, the curlew, the teal, the white-headed duck, the Kentish plover, the tern and the Montagu's harrier, among many other species.

The new dam is no longer accessible, which makes it that the route can no longer be done as described. Hiking down to the lake however gives many nice views however.

Small dam that collects water from the eastern mountains of the Sierra de Andújar National Park and is located north of the town of Montoro. The environment that surrounds it is full of olive trees and typical flora of this area of Andalusia.

It's a pity: the last time I went there it was completely dry.

Due to the proximity of the dam to the city of Córdoba, its main function is supply. It was built in 1911 at the source of the Guadalmellato river, which flows into the Guadalquivir after more than 110 kilometers of travel.
