Salburua, Protected wetland in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain.
Salburua encompasses 160 hectares of lakes, meadows, and oak groves on the eastern border of Vitoria-Gasteiz, forming a natural water management system.
During the 19th century, the wetlands were converted into agricultural land until restoration efforts began in 1994, leading to Ramsar site designation in 2002.
The Ataria interpretation centre, established in 2009, provides educational exhibits, an auditorium, and observation points for environmental education programs.
Visitors can access walking paths, cycling routes, and observation points throughout the wetland, with guided tours available at the interpretation center.
The wetland serves as a refuge for the European mink, an endangered species, while managing water levels to prevent flooding in Vitoria-Gasteiz.
