카라쿠엘 데 칼라트라바‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪10‬개의 호수

The Laguna Blanca in Argamasilla de Calatrava is an interesting natural formation. It was created by volcanic explosions that created depressions filled with rainwater1. This lagoon is known for the whitish colour of its waters, a result of the minerals present in the soil, such as bicarbonate and sodium sulphate. It is an excellent place for bird watching, as many species choose it as a stopover, resting or nesting point. In addition, the area around the lagoon has archaeological remains dating back to the Paleolithic, which adds historical value to the place.

The “El Charcazo” recreational area in Corral de Calatrava is a lovely place to enjoy a day outdoors. It is located about 300 metres from the exit of the town towards Abenójar, on the CM-4112 road. This place is part of the Don Quixote Route and is of great volcanic, scenic, hiking and architectural interest. It has barbecues, picnic tables under the shade of holm oaks, and a small lake with ducks. It is ideal for bird watching thanks to its two large wetlands. Although it is a perfect place for a picnic or barbecue, it is important to remember that swimming in the reservoir is not permitted. In addition, there are toilets available and a fountain with non-potable water.

It is a small municipality located in a small valley of the Tirteafuera river, a tributary of the Guadiana, and is surrounded by small mountains next to the Calatrava Massif. In addition, in its municipal term, there are outcrops and volcanic lagoons.

Like other lagoons in the area, this one originated when magma came into contact with groundwater. The violent explosion generated a crater 500 meters in diameter and a maximum depth of 100 meters. The lagoon is surrounded by a forest of holm oaks, kermes oaks, mastics and cornicabras. The lagoon water also attracts birds such as black and white storks, imperial eagles, short-toed eagles, golden eagles and black vultures.
