Tablas de Daimiel National Park

The park contains extensive wetlands formed by the confluence of Ciguela and Guadiana rivers, creating a network of water channels and islands.

The Spanish government established Las Tablas de Daimiel as a national park in 1973 to protect the last remaining Mediterranean wetland ecosystem.

Local communities maintain traditional fishing practices and reed harvesting methods that date back through generations in the La Mancha region.

Three marked trails with wooden walkways allow visitors to explore the park: La Isla del Pan, La Laguna Permanente, and La Torre de Prado Ancho.

The park houses over 200 bird species in an area of 3,030 hectares, making it the smallest national park in Spain.
