Natural Park Bahía de Cadiz

Bahía de Cádiz natural park  has varied ecosystems and strategic location near Parque de Doñana and Estrecho de Gibraltar, makes this natural enclave a perfect spot for many species of birds. Salt extraction and inshore fishing have been the two major activities of the Bay of Cadiz.

The technique of salt production has remained almost intact for centuries: seawater is driven by the tide, passes through a system of feeding pipes and gates to a series of ponds until the warm winds of Levante and the strong sunlight cause intense evaporation and salt crystallization. Currently, salt extraction has given way to other activities such as estuary shellfishing, coastal fisheries and aquaculture thriving, which are the main resources of the area
