Reserva natural de Lagunas de Villafáfila, Protected wetland in Zamora Province, Spain
The natural reserve spans 32,682 hectares and contains multiple lakes that flood up to 500 hectares during winter months in northeastern Zamora.
Salt extraction activities in the area date back to Chalcolithic settlements, becoming a royal monopoly in 1348 during the Medieval period.
Traditional adobe dovecotes across the reserve reflect the local architectural heritage and historical farming practices of the Zamora region.
The visitor center El Palomar provides educational materials and maintains artificial ponds for wildlife observation throughout the seasonal changes.
The reserve sustains one of Europe's largest great bustard populations and serves as a critical stopover for numerous migratory water birds.
