마르토스‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪13‬개의 천연기념물

The Laguna Honda is a remarkable nature reserve along the Vía Verde del Aceite in the province of Jaén, Andalusia. It is located in the municipality of Alcaudete, about 7 km northwest of the town center, nestled between the Sierra de Orbes and the Guadalquivir plain. With an area of around 65 hectares and an additional protected zone of 220 hectares, it is one of the most important wetlands in the region. Laguna Honda is an endorheic, shallow salt lagoon whose high salt content is due to the clayey and calcareous soils. It is mainly fed by rainwater and a small tributary from the Sierra de Orbes. Despite its shallow depth, it is a valuable habitat for numerous bird species, including flamingos, ducks, and other water birds that rest or breed here.

Laguna Honda, located in a place known as Tumbalagraja, is a unique space that was declared a nature reserve in 1989 and belongs to the municipality of Alcaudete in Jaén. The first autumn rains flood the lagoon, which manages to retain a small amount of water until the arrival of spring. This fact, together with the contribution of the current that enters from a small stream in the Sierra de Orbes, makes it the most persistent natural wetland in the province. Of the original vegetation, two species remain, the bulrush and the reed, which together with the reed and the tamarisk form the vegetation around the lagoon. Visitors who come to this beautiful place can enjoy the birds that can be found there, such as the redfish, the coot or the white-headed duck. On some occasions you can even see small flocks of pink flamingos.

The Guadajoz River rises just before the tail of the reservoir from the union of the Salado River and the San Juan River and flows into the Guadalquivir near the municipality of Córdoba.

Spectacular views that contrast with the olive groves. This reservoir is one of the most relevant in the Guadalquivir account in terms of capacity. It is also home to important communities of migratory birds when they jump between continents.

Beautiful bridges on the Via Verde del Aceite. There are 13 of them.

A must stop for hikers and cyclists. It is called that because it has a stick inserted into the tube that prevents the water from being emptied unnecessarily.

In decades it usually happens a couple of times when the water breaks and gushes out of that crack. It is a spectacle worth seeing except that you have to be close and aware of that eruption. I've only seen her once in 21 years!
