Gallocanta Lagoon, located between Zaragoza and Teruel, is the largest natural lagoon on the Iberian Peninsula and a unique area due to its high salinity. Declared a nature reserve in 2006, it is one of the most important birdwatching spots in Spain, with more than 220 recorded species. Every autumn and spring, thousands of cranes stop here on their migrations, offering an unforgettable spectacle. The area is rich in trails and viewpoints, so it is recommended to bring binoculars and comfortable shoes to enjoy the wildlife and scenery at a leisurely pace.

A must-see to listen to the flow of the Pancrudo River. And seeing the beauty of the Jiloca River banks in autumn is special.

Unfortunately, there are still many interruptions on the almost 600 km long Via Verde Santander Mediterraneo railway line. It would be great to be able to travel from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean without car traffic. If this tourist potential is understood by the various regional parliaments, the entire cycling and gravel world would come to Spain and use this ingenious connection.
