The strong personality of this spacious nature is determined by it´s
volcanic origen, also extreme weather conditions of dryness temperatures
as, of this the erosion of the ground is determined by a enormous richness
of mineral resources flora, fauna, all together make a contrast scenery
and a harmonic relation, tradionaly by man with a mediun of (craft man
fishermen, saline and water wheel) All this makes the Nature Park of
Cabo de Gata unique for tourisim and nature life studies.
Even though the scientific levels can have two ecosystems very different,
the mountain range and the paddels of salines with it´s sandy grounds.

expanded into three with a space represented by coles and beaches, together
in a nautical mile. Also with protection purpose. (The coast).

-
The mountainrange in spring is one of
the most splendid, there is always a suprise because of it´s
beauty. The volcanic cones strained with lava The palmetto, the
wild goat, the esparto, royal owl, the eagle, the lizard, the sea
urchin.

The saline in spring and summer offer us a
unforgetable performance little by little hundreds and thousands
of birds (storks and flamencos), those birds give a special silhowete
colour to the nature park. The mild climate is used by many of these
birds during winter between the while mountains of salt and the puddles.
