Cascadas del Hueznar

Seville enchants

La Cigarrera is a small, sib-saline lagoon in the Lebrija-Las Cabezas Endorheic Complex Natural Reserve. This lagoon has the best-preserved strip of perilagoon vegetation in the complex.

The purpose of this guide is to provide a useful tool to enjoy this area of Seville, a jewel of Europe and a paradise for nature and birdwatching lovers.

The Coripe Lagoon is a continental wetland in the Guadalete river basin, which is a sub-basin of the Guadalmanil. 

The Brazo de la Torre was one of the three large branches that shaped the River Guadalquivir after the sedimentation of Lake Ligustino, which occupied the entire estuary of the river in Roman times. This branch, also known as the Northwest Branch, is complemented by two other main branches, the Brazo del Este and the Emedio.

The 20-hectare restored lagoon was declared as a natural reserve on 28 July 1989. Located about 800 metres from the village, endangered species such as white-headed duck, mallard or pink flamingo nest and roost here.

The Zarracatín Lagoon, located 2 km south of El Palmar de Troya, is part of the Utrera Endorheic Complex, along with those of Arjona and La Alcaparrosa. 

The “Laguna de Pedreras” is an artificial lake in a former aggregate extraction quarry. This lake is particularly striking as numerous bird species pass and rest here, owing to its proximity to important wetlands such as the Fuente de Piedra lagoon, the Lantejuela Endorheic Complex and the Gosque Nature Reserve in Osuna.
