Lagunas de Rabasa
The Lagunas de Rabasa are a series of small lakes created by groundwater filling former clay quarries. This natural area serves as a habitat for various bird species, including ducks and herons. Visitors go here to walk along quiet trails and observe local wildlife in a setting away from the urban environment of Alicante.
Getting There
The lakes are located on the outskirts of Alicante. From the city centre, you can reach the area by car or local transport. The journey typically takes around 15 to 20 minutes depending on traffic and the specific starting point within the city.
Duration of Visit
Depending on the length of the trails you choose to walk and the amount of time spent birdwatching, allow between 2 and 4 hours to explore the area.
When to Visit
Early morning is generally the best time for birdwatching, as wildlife is more active. During the summer, temperatures in the region can be very high, making spring or autumn more suitable for walking. The area remains relatively quiet compared to the city's main tourist hubs.
