Prat de Cabanes-Torreblanca Natural Park

The park encompasses 860 hectares of Mediterranean coastal wetlands with salt marshes, reeds, and diverse aquatic vegetation near the towns of Cabanes and Torreblanca.

The natural park received its official protection status in December 1994 through legislation enacted by the Valencian Community government to preserve the coastal ecosystem.

The park operates as a research center for scientists and biologists studying native species, including the endangered Spanish toothcarp and Valencia toothcarp fish.

Visitors can access the park through the N-340 road or AP-7 highway, with the main information center located between Torreblanca and Oropesa municipalities.

The wetland formed from an ancient lagoon separated from the Mediterranean Sea by a natural barrier of gravel and stones extending 7 kilometers long.
