Thrills of wildlife

The birds that soar in unison over the vast aquatic expanses. The shades of green and blue that stretch to the infinite sky.

And equally many invitations to feed your curiosity during a walk in the greenery and fresh air to discover this lagoon Eden.

Thrills of wildlife

A timeless world bathed in waters and lights

For a long time, migratory birds had stopped passing through the Marchica Lagoon. Their habitats and nesting areas were threatened by wastewater discharge and pollution. That was before the revival of Nador’s treasure through the Marchica Med project. Today, the ecosystems of the Marchica Lagoon merge into a unique world of exploration and contemplation. One destination: wonder.

Encounter with the exceptional birdlife of the lagoon

A full-scale ornithology lesson awaits you on the 10 kilometers of trails in the Marchica Lagoon bird reserve. Keep your eyes open. Listen. More than 100 bird species perform their show here in their paradise. Depending on the seasons and observation points, you can spot flamingos, gulls, cormorants, and blue thrushes.
