Las Salinas de Calpe are a natural place that welcomes, at various times of the year, a large number of migratory birds, especially flamingos.
The Salinas - Salt Flats are an interesting spot close to the Penon de Ifach.
In the 19th & 20th century, the salt flats were important to Calpe. The salt marshes and fishing were key to the economy of the town.
Every year, a campaign is held to clean up the Salinas. With the wetlands lying close to busy roads a lot of rubbish collects in vegetation around the Salinas. Last year 40 volunteers helped clean up the Salinas, collecting in total over 1,000 kilos of waste.
Here are some images of the Salinas:
