At the southern tip of the province of Castellón, between the first slopes of the Serra d'Espadà and the Mediterranean Sea, lies Almenara, a town that preserves one of the wetlands of greatest natural value along the entire Valencian coast: the Marjal d'Almenara.
Within this wetland area lies Els Estanys, a set of three freshwater lagoons that constitute the great natural treasure of this region. These lagoons are fed by groundwater from the mountain range, which emerges to the surface through natural springs.
The result is a unique landscape characterized by the combination of water, vegetation and fauna, elements that together build one of the main natural attractions of this Mediterranean wetland.
Els Estanys thus represents an ecosystem of great ecological importance in the context of the Valencian coastline, where the presence of freshwater in direct contact with the Mediterranean environment creates unique conditions for biodiversity.
