We are here in the Spanish region that played an important role in the world famous adventures of Don Quixote. Surrounded by the dry, dusty plains of Castile-La Mancha lies the marshland Tablas de Daimiel, the smallest of the 15 national parks in Spain. Mary bird-species flourish in these wetlands, flamingos are also regularly spotted here. Therefore this protected bird area is a favorite destination for birdwatchers. There are three walking routes through the marshy nature reserve, passing a series of wooden bridges, viewpoints and bird huts. In that way many birds and their nests can be observed up close.
