Laguna de Gallocanta, Natural reserve and endorheic lake in Teruel Province, Spain
The lake spans 14.6 square kilometers across a continental plain, reaching depths of 2 meters and containing several small rivers as water sources.
The lake experienced complete desiccation in the summer of 1969, leading to the formation of a substantial salt crust on its surface.
Local communities monitor and document the annual migrations of common cranes, contributing to scientific research about bird population patterns.
The interpretation center near the lake presents exhibitions about regional geology, bird species, and provides information for visiting birdwatchers.
During winter migrations between December and February, the lake hosts up to 30,000 common cranes when water levels permit their presence.
