Natural Parks

The Fondo nature Park
 
Drainage work and landfills carried out in the 18th century by the clergy (Cardinal Belluga) reduced the original expanse of this large lagoon, known as the Albufera d'Elx. Today, the remains of the original area comprise Les Salines de Santa Pola, and El Fondó (the Deep), which, in combination with the La Mata and Torrevieja lagoons, form a triangular wetland zone of great importance due to its unique plant and fish life. The Fondó Nature Park extends from the municipal limits of Elx and Crevillent, and includes a variety of eco-systems, depending on the degree of humidity and the water quality. The Fondó marshlands have both ecological and agricultural value, as the water is used for controlled irrigation purposes.
 
Santa Pola salt Flats Nature Park
 
Near the ancient wetlands outside Santa Pola, salt has been mined since the beginning of the 20th C at Braç del Port, El Pinet, etc., contributing to changes along the edge of these marshlands. Today's Nature Park preserves various habitats: the salt flats close the sea, the freshwater pools in the marsh area and periphery, and the bordering farmlands. Flora and fauna have adapted to the wet conditions and high salt content. Spectacular concentrations of greater flamingos, including thousands of birds, can sometimes be seen here

La Mata and Torrevieja Lagoons Nature Park

Extending all the way across the municipal areas of Torrevieja, Los Montesinos and Guardamar del Segura are the La Mata and Torrevieja lagoons, which are still used for salt extraction, as they have been for many decades. Salt water is drawn from the Cabeç de la Sal in Pinoso and left to dry in the sun until the water evaporates. The marshlands here are an important wintering and nesting area for over one hundred bird species, such as the greater flamingo, the black-necked grebe and various duck varieties. To the north of the La Mata lagoon, near the mouth of the river Segura, are the Guardamar dunes, whose location is now stable due to large pine plantations that prevent them from moving inland.

What to eat?

There is a great tradition of local gastronomy. Using the fruits of the local agricultural production local master chefs have developed succulent and delicious dishes for all kinds of palates.

From early in the day many gastronomic establishments open their doors to serve breakfast or a mid-morning snack. To go with creamy coffee, natural orange juice squeezed from the best local oranges, there is toast sprinkled with olive oil and appetizing sweet pastries recently taken out of one of the traditional baking ovens.

At midday the custom in this region is to go to a bar to have some home-made "tapas", including a great variety of green salads, mayonnaise salads, typical chard (acelgas) fried with garlic, bean omelette, black pudding fried with onion and croquette potatoes with cod.

Local rice dishes are a must to try, prepared as they are with the best homemade sausages. Other local dishes are turkey stew and a wide variety of other stews, rices and hams.

And for dessert a wide range of cakes and sweets appropriate for every time of the year. Home-baking ovens are to be found in many bakery and cake shops as well as in the covents of the town which specialise in almond tarts and other local specialities: "chatos", "zamorras" and "gloria" cakes.
All lovers of good food will find a wide variety of bars and restaurants in the town and area of Orihuela offering a huge range of excellent local dishes.
