Laguna de Fuente de Piedra

Laguna de Fuente de Piedra is the largest lake in the Andalucía region, with a total area of about 1,400 hectares. Unlike some of the other lakes in Spain on this list, the Fuente de Piedra Lagoon is a saltwater lake. It's an aquarist's paradise - as well as geese and sand pigeons, the lake attracts the largest flock of flamingos on the entire peninsula. The Fuente de Piedra lagoon is used by the larger flamingo for its annual breeding cycle, forming the largest colony on the Iberian peninsula of this beautiful and delicate bird. Great for flamingo spots. Early morning or perhaps sunset is a good time to enjoy the view.

Laguna de Fuente de Piedra is known as one of the best lakes to visit in Spain, this is the most beautiful lake area in Spain. Not because of its scenery or impressive size, but because of its inhabitants. Laguna de Fuente de Piedra is famous for its giant flamingo population. In fact, this wetland area is home to the only stable colony of flamingos in all of Europe. Whether visitors are animal lovers or not, they can't help but appreciate these gorgeous creatures that cover the shores of one of Spain's most famous lakes.
