The Campiñana Lagoons

The Campiñana Lagoons (Las Lagunas de Campiñana) are an exceptional natural resource within the municipality of Casas de Ves. These seasonal wetlands act as oases of biodiversity, attracting numerous species of migratory birds and aquatic wildlife. In a region characterised by the aridity of the high plateau (meseta), these lagoons represent a fragile and precious ecosystem that demands protection. Depending on the time of year and rainfall, the water levels fluctuate, offering ever-changing landscapes that range from crystalline mirrored waters to areas of reedbeds and damp scrubland.

They are a prime destination for birdwatchers and nature photographers, providing a unique perspective on the Manchegan landscape. The Campiñana Lagoons demonstrate the ecological richness of Casas de Ves and its importance as a wildlife sanctuary in the heart of the peninsula, encouraging environmental education and a profound respect for the natural world.
