Cabo de Gata
◦ 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

This is a place where I usually go hiking.
Hiking in this place is very hard but I don’t mind because the views are incredible.
This is one of the places through which you have to walk.
These are the typical animals in the Estrechura of Guainos.
There aren’t a lot of plants, but there are some shrubbery and little plants.
The climate is very hot, people usually go in summer
We think that it is a good place to visit, because it is very funny, enjoyable and it has a good landscape.
◦I recommend you this place. If you like nature, you will love it!
CASTALA(SPAIN)
By Denisa Serban
◦ My favourite place is a natural park called Castala.
Where is it?
◦ It is located in the South East of Spain, not far from my home town.
Types of plants◦ There you can find different types of roses, cactuses, conifers. In autumn you are not
allowed to enter the park because there is danger to burn the leaves which fall on the
ground.
Types of animals◦ There are a lot of wild animals : squirrels , mice , birds , eagles and mountain goats.
My favourite animal in the park◦ My favourite animal in the park is the squirrel. I really enjoy going to the park and feeding
them. They are very funny and friendly.
My favourite plant◦ My favourite plant is the cactus. Cactuses are very common in my area, but you must be
careful, because they have many sharp thorns!
Activities◦ People go to Castala to have a nice day out. You can go there to have a picnic or enjoy
the views while doing some hiking.
Why do I like the park?◦ I like it because I can go there with my family and have fun. Also I can enjoy the views that
mother nature offers and I’m very happy because people are still taking care of those
wonderful places.
The best time to visit◦ You can visit the park at any season. But, in my opinion, the best time to visit is in spring,
when all the flowers are in bloom.
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.

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.
