Salinas y Arenales de San Pedro del Pinatar, Nature reserve with salt flats and dunes in San Javier, Spain
The Regional Reserve covers 856 hectares of Mediterranean coastline, featuring salt lakes, pine forests, reed beds, salt marshes, sand dunes, and fishing channels.
The salt extraction industry has been operating continuously in this location since Roman times, with current annual production reaching 100,000 tons of sea salt.
Traditional fishing methods using fixed nets called 'Las Encañizadas' continue to be practiced in the channels between the salt lagoons and the Mediterranean Sea.
The reserve includes marked trails for walking and cycling, multiple bird observation points, and a visitor center providing information about guided tours.
The sand formations at Torre Derribada rise over three meters high, creating a natural barrier between the Mediterranean Sea and the salt flats.
