Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural 
Park is in the South-Eastern 
corner of Spain. It is Andalucia's 
largest coastal protected area, 
a wild and isolated landscape 
with some of Europe's most 
original geological features. It is 
the only region in Europe with a 
Warm Desert climate.
Geology, geography, climate 
and vegetation 
◦ Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park is 
characterised by volcanic rock 
formations - lava flows, volcanic 
domes, volcanic calderas. The park 
joined UNESCO's Global Geoparks 
Network in 2006, and is also a 
member of the European Geoparks 
Network.
Towns 
There are some small towns in the Cabo de Gata area: 
◦ Agua Amarga 
◦ Cabo de Gata 
◦ Carboneras 
◦ Las Negras 
◦ Los Albaricoques 
◦ Níjar 
◦ Rodalquilar 
◦ San José 
Various other
Flora 
◦ There are over 1,000 plants recorded in the reserve, some of which are 
endemic to the Parque Natural de Cabo de Gata and some of which 
have become symbols of the natural park 
European fan palm Agave (Pita) Americana Dragoncillo del 
Cabo
Fauna 
◦ There are 1,100 species of fauna that 
have been recorded within the park, 
the majority of those are birds. The 
European Union has designated a 
Special Protection Area for bird-life. The 
salt flats provide an important habitat 
for both the resident birds and the 
thousands of migrating birds that stop 
on their journey between Europe and 
Africa.
Human impact on the park 
◦ In 2003 a hotel project was started at Playa del Algarrobico between 
Carboneras and Mojacar, just inside the park. Work on the project was 
halted, but demolition, which is opposed by 14 villages , has yet to be 
carried out. Several reputable sources claim with good evidence that this 
project is an illegal development although it seems that more recently 
demolition plans are moving closer

ADRA'S LAGOONS, 
ALMERÍA 
BY INES CASTILLO AND ANDREA SERBAN
What’s a lagoon? 
◦ They are small lakes which are near the beach and they are made of salt 
water. 
◦ These lagoons consist of two lakes, one bigger than the other.
History 
◦ The lagoons have been there for ages. In the past, farmers used to build 
greenhouses around the lagoons, so with time they became smaller in 
size. Luckily, ecologists made the government create some laws to 
preserve the lagoons and the surrounding areas.
Where is it? 
◦ Adra’s lagoons are located in the southwest coast of the Almería 
province, inside the municipality of Adra, between Puente del Río and 
Balanegra’s beach.
What type of fauna is there? 
The most important bird in this place is the malvasía (Oxyura 
leucocephala). Other animals are the somormujo lavanco (Podiceps 
cristatus), the avetorillo (Ixobrichus minutus), the common porrón (Aythia 
ferina) the colorado duck (Netta rufina), turtles and hedgehogs.
The fartet is a kind of fish that only lives in 
these lagoons. They eat larvas of insects, 
crustaceans and worms.
What type of plants are there? 
◦ Some of the plants which live in the lagoons are the reed (Juncus 
maritimus, Juncus acutus), the carrizo (Phragmites australis), the common 
cane (Arundo donax), the bulrush (Typha angustifolia), the masiega 
(Cladium mariscus) and the coniza bonariensis.
Surroundings 
◦ Close to Albufera de Adra is the town of the same name. It has a busy 
fishing harbour and there are boat trips available to nearby coastal areas.
Map of the Lagoons
Why do we like it? 
◦ We like this place because when I was a child I used to go with my parents to that nice 
place to see the ducks. Also, because it’s a place very near my city so I can also go 
there and relax by looking at the animals and the plants.
