More about this place…
This spectacular spot lies in the municipality of Puente del Obispo, barely 15 km from Baeza. The lagoon, man-made, was used to store water for irrigating the immense olive groves. Today it is an area of great ecological value, home to a wide variety of birds sheltered by the riverside vegetation around the water. Visitors have hides from which to watch the birds, such as gadwall, common pochard, purple swamphen, teal and little grebe, among others.
