Sancha Lagoon

Share Image

Small coastal lagoon with riparian vegetation dominated by reed and bulrush, surrounded by dunes fixed with maritime pine plantations. Stands out as an important place in the autumn migration of passerines trans-saharian (small birds that migrate to areas beyond the Sahara desert), and is also a breeding area for species that are threatened in much of its European distribution area.
