Neila Glacial Lagoons Natural Park
Explore the Neila Glacial Lagoons Natural Park, a treasure among the mountains that shows the traces of ancient glaciers. Discover the unique lagoons, such as Laguna Negra, Cascada, Tejera, Haedillo, Patos, Pardillas and Brava, each with its own charm. The Black Lagoon is especially captivating.
Admire the unique flora at the edges and shallow areas of the lagoons, creating green tapestries that contrast with the deep blue of the water. The juniper forests, alpine grasses and floating peat bog of Laguna Larga add uniqueness, protected by the park to preserve its fragile beauty.
Discover a surprising fauna, with the Palearctic otter, Iberian desman, dipper and kingfisher, along with amphibians and fish adapted to extreme conditions.
Explore the Las Calderas Gorge, a spectacular canyon with waterfalls, crystalline pools, whimsical rocks and lush vegetation.
