Went to Fuente de Pierda yesterday and the flamingos have not arrived this year. April and May should be the peak leading to breeding in June and July but he water level is way down leaving only mud in some parts of the lake. Good visitor centre but poor viewing. Try again next year. More

What a magical place this is.... on first arrival at the lakes you are greeted by lots of ducks and many types of wading birds, digging around in the silt. There are lots of walkways of varying distances that you can take around the lake and areas of marsh land, where birds congregate and feed. We found the best place... More

This is my forth trip to the laguna. Having been there at different times of the year, i would say February has been the best so far. The mirrored views of the lagoon are occasionally broken only by the birds as they change their location. This is a very cheap way of having a pleasant day out More

Pretty much all year round one is certain to catch a glimpse of some of these fragile looking birds that breed in Andalucía’s largest lagoon. It’s easy to get here from Malaga – the new motorway climbs almost effortless through the mountains and across the valleys towards Antequera. There is a turn off for the village of Fuente de Piedra,... More

Definately worth a visit if only for 20 minutes you will come away calm and refreshed. A great getaway from the hustle and bustle of the coast to a very peaceful spot. Just the noise of the Flamingos. take binoculars if you can. You don't have to be a bird watcher to like it here. More
