Laguna de Torrevieja Pink Salt Lagoon

The Famous Pink Salt Lagoon

The Laguna de Torrevieja is one of Spain's most striking natural wonders, a vast shallow salt lake whose waters can turn a remarkable rose-pink hue thanks to the microalgae and brine shrimp thriving in its highly saline waters. Stretching across the southern Costa Blanca, the lagoon forms part of an active salt-extraction industry that has shaped the region for centuries.

A Protected Natural Park

This tranquil wetland lies within the Parque Natural de las Lagunas de La Mata y Torrevieja, a haven for wildlife where flamingos, herons and countless migratory birds feed along the shoreline. The surrounding marshes and reed beds form a biodiverse sanctuary that draws nature lovers and photographers from across Europe.
