Laguna de Zóñar, Protected lake in Aguilar de la Frontera, Spain.

The Laguna de Zóñar extends over 66 hectares of wetlands with a central pool and two adjacent lagoons, reaching depths of 13 meters.

The lake received protected status in October 1984 and became part of the Ramsar List of Wetlands of International Importance in 1989.

The name Zóñar maintains connections to an ancient Iberian settlement named Zúñiga that existed in the surrounding region centuries ago.

Visitors access the lake through a marked road from highway A-45 at kilometer 40, leading to parking facilities and the Visitor Center.

The lake serves as the sole natural water body in Andalusia where the white-headed duck population recovered from near extinction.
