Plants and birds

Plantas y aves

The Salinas de la Concepción are also a place of plants and birds. Wind, salt and water decide who can live here.

Plants

On the shore: rushes and glasswort. On the rock, plants that stand the wind and the salt: socarrell, wild thyme, margalideta. In the wet ground, others that stand salt water.

Under the water, beds of Cymodocea. To the south, on damp sand, small communities you do not see everywhere.

Birds

In winter: herons, flamingos, cormorants, ducks. On passage: the waders. In the breeding season: the plover.

Care for the place is not an extra. It is part of the same work as the salt. The visit is by reservation, so as not to load the place.
