Tremedales de Orihuela, Protected wetland site in Sierra de Albarracín, Spain
Tremedales de Orihuela is a protected wetland reserve in the Sierra de Albarracín featuring peat bogs and marshy meadows. The landscape includes flowing streams and natural springs that support specialized plant and animal life adapted to wet conditions.
The site gained official status as a wetland of international importance under the Ramsar Convention in 2011. This designation recognized its ecological role in supporting migratory waterbirds and aquatic species.
The local community refers to these wetlands as 'gotiales', reflecting the traditional nomenclature developed through generations of inhabitants in the region.
The reserve can be accessed through marked trails beginning from Orihuela del Tremedal in the surrounding area. Most paths cross open landscape, so appropriate clothing and sun protection are advisable depending on the season.
The wetland supports carnivorous plants such as sundew and several rare butterfly species found in the area. These insects use the marshes as a stopping point during their seasonal journeys.
