Short but tough ramp to climb to this viewpoint

The best times to observe birds are early in the morning, before the birds that sleep in the lagoon go out in search of food, and at dusk, when the birds that spend the day fluttering around the fields and plains of the Tajuña return to spend the night. With luck, suitable equipment, patience and knowledge of the habits of birds, you can see coots, grebes, white-rumped grebes, moorhens, grey herons, mallards, red-crested pochard and various reptiles such as the ocellated lizard and the common grass snake, among many others. In summer, it is easy to observe the bee-eater, little bittern, sand martin, reed warbler, great reed warbler and purple heron in the area around the lagoon and the surrounding steppe mountains.

A paradise of aquatic flora and fauna. Better to visit it daily, the silence and the sound of the birds that can be observed from observatories is wonderful
