Les Goles del Millars, Mediterranean marsh in Almassora, Spain.
Les Goles del Millars is a marsh at the mouth of the Mijares River where freshwater flows into the Mediterranean Sea. The area contains shallow water bodies, reed beds, and waterside zones that provide habitat for fish, amphibians, and many bird species.
The marsh has been used by local communities since ancient times as a source for fishing and natural resources. Over the centuries it played an important role in the economic development of the Castellon coast.
The delta serves as an outdoor classroom where local schools conduct environmental education programs to teach students about wetland ecosystems.
The area can be reached via marked paths from Almassora leading to observation points. These spots allow watching water birds without disturbing them.
The area displays varying salinity levels due to the mixing of river and sea water. These particular conditions support plant communities specially adapted to such environments.
