Lakes of Neila, Nature reserve with glacial lakes in Burgos, Spain
The Lakes of Neila contain multiple interconnected water bodies surrounded by mountainous terrain at an elevation of 1,873 meters above sea level.
These lakes formed during the last glacial period when ice sheets carved deep depressions in the mountainous landscape of northern Spain.
Local residents maintain traditional fishing practices in these waters, following regulations that preserve both cultural heritage and environmental balance.
Visitors access the lakes through a 15-kilometer paved road that winds through the mountains, with designated parking areas at the main entrance.
The lakes change color throughout the seasons due to variations in mineral content and algae populations, creating different shades of blue and green.
