Take a walk to spot the birds and plant life populating the three freshwater lakes - fed from underground sources - comprising Marjal y Estanys d’Almenara.

Marjal y Estanys d’Almenara are three freshwater lakes that attract a diverse selection of wildlife. 

The water feeding Marjal y Estanys d’Almenara nature area originates from Sierra de Espadán. Springs create a subterranean course that carries the transparent waters up to the surface to create this collection of lakes. Specifically, the water comes from a small mountain, Penya de l'Estany, which we recommend climbing to enjoy the incredible views over the local scenery. 

As if the views weren’t enough of a draw, archaeological remains have also been found here, indicating that the area was inhabited many centuries ago. There are information panels where you can find out everything there is to know about the site.

Marjal y Estanys d’Almenara is a wonderful place to go birding and enjoy the diverse plant life. But it’s not the only attraction you can enjoy in Almenara. 

Just a stone’s throw from València city, the town boasts beautiful beaches, spectacular hiking trails and fascinating heritage sites. Then there’s the castle with its watchtowers and the viewing point where you can get an idea of everything there is to see in Plana Baixa. Come and visit Marjal y Estanys d’Almenara and enjoy all sorts of other activities during your time in Almenara.
