Albufera de Adra, Wetland nature reserve in Adra, Spain.

The Albufera de Adra contains two coastal lagoons stretching across 75 hectares along the Mediterranean shoreline of Andalusia.

The Spanish government designated this wetland as a Natural Reserve in 1989, leading to its recognition as a Ramsar site in 1994.

The wetlands maintain a connection between local communities and nature through regulated fishing activities in designated zones.

Visitors can access detailed information about the reserve through the environmental portal of Andalusia, which provides seasonal visiting schedules.

The lagoons provide essential nesting grounds for the white-headed duck, a protected waterfowl species facing extinction risks.
