Places to see in ( Alicante - Spain ) Las Salinas de Torrevieja
Las Salinas de Torrevieja offer a peaceful respite in a thriving resort community on the Mediterrean coastline of Spain's Costa Blanca. The two natural lakes are saltier than sea water, and Laguna Salada de Torrevieja is even pink! Set within a natural park dedicated to their protection, Laguna Salada de Torrevieja and Laguna Salada de la Mata have long held an important place in early Spanish history.
Records show salt extraction from around the shorelines was in full swing in the early 14th century. This industry still continues. Neither lake supports a fish population due to the high salt content, but both hold brine shrimp and micro-organisms especially suited to highly salty water. Laguna Salada de Torrevieja is pink because of the proliferation of a particular species of algae that thrives in the briny lake.
A nature reserve of over 9000 acres completely surrounds the two lakes. Within its borders live many kinds of native wildlife. Over 200 species of birds are counted as a part of the natural landscape, not the least of which is the flamingo. Over 2000 pairs of flamingos have been counted here during breeding season, outnumbered only by the 3000 pairs of black-necked grebe. Marsh harrier, stilts, shelduck, avocets, Kentish plover, curlew, common tern and little tern flock to the lakeshore. Although the lake itself supports almost no vegetation, salt marshes along the margins have developed wherever inflowing water enters. The small inflows provide the humidity missing in this arid climate for numerous wetland reeds and rushes to grow. Less saline areas support tamarisks and evergreens. Some marsh areas provide the conditions necessary to support wild orchids. The reserve is open in many areas for walking, and a road encompasses most of the reserve.
A ridge separates the two lakes, and easternmost Laguna Salada de la Mata receives more run-off from surrounding hills during the short winter rainy season. Although there is no swimming or boating allowed on the lakes, walking, bicycling, bird watching, and nature observation are encouraged.
Salt is still excavated from Laguna Salada de Torrevieja. A short man-made channel connects the lake to the Mediterranean Sea where the salt is loaded on ships for transport. The ocean is only half a mile from the lakeshore, but the ecology of the two water bodies is very different. In the 1800s, an effort was made to dig a channel from Laguna Salada de la Mata to the sea to facilitate a possible fishery as well as to transport salt. The lake proved to be too salty to support fish, so the plan was abandoned and the main saltworks moved to Laguna Salada de Torrevieja.

The Pink Lake, Torrevieja in Spain
e: thisisguavo.media@gmail.com
It's a Salt Lake and it's bright pink in color.
Las Salinas de Torrevieja is one of the most impressive natural parks of Valencia and is located nearby another water reserve known as the Laguna de la Mata. Las Salinas de Torrevieja spreads across 1,400 hectares and is separated from the Laguna de la Mata by an anticline (a formation of stratified rock raised up) called the Chaparral, but both are connected to the ocean through a canal. This canal was created for the purpose of obtaining salt from the ocean in the 13th century.
As a legacy of its past, there are also huge mountains of salt piled high along the shore wgich can be seen in the distance of this short, simple video.
There are bright pink flamingos often found at the lake to add the the wider bright pink visuals. Its rather beautiful to see a pink lake, a bit like a real life instagram filter.
The shiny black mud seen rubbed all over the people in the video is said to be a great, organic beauty mask that really does leave the skin feeling amazingly soft and rejuvenated.
