Seville, beautiful and diverse

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 Torre del Águila reservoir is located to the southeast of El Palmar de Troya, in an area of small hills, with altitudes between 144 and 51 m, and gentle slopes. It has two main arms; the western branch receives its inflow from the Santiago Stream.

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.

We will start the route on Avenida Dr. Fleming in Las Cabezas de San Juan until we reach a roundabout. We will have to turn right on Calle Blas Infante. After 100 metres we come to a crossroads where we must continue straight on along the Avenida de Jesús Nazareno, where we leave Las Cabezas and take the SE-5208 road.

This natural enclave is one of the most important in Europe. It is an extremely important wintering, migratory and breeding area for many bird species. Furthermore, it is one of the last havens for endangered wildlife species such as the Imperial eagle or the Iberian lynx.

The Dehesa de Abajo Concerted Nature Reserve is the contact zone between the southernmost area of the Aljarafe region and the Guadalquivir marshlands. The combination of Mediterranean forest and marshland habitat gives rise to an exceptional variety of plant and animal species.
