Las salinas de Janubio are situated in the municipality of Yaiza, in the southwest of Lanzarote, one of the Canary Islands in Spain. These salt flats are the most extensive in Lanzarote and are still active today, thanks to the support of the EU, which declared them a protected natural area. This location offers a unique blend of landscape and ecological values, combined with the complexity and originality of its salt architecture and hydraulic systems.
Geological Formation of Las salinas de Janubio
The lagoon where the salt flats, Las salinas de Janubio, are located was created by volcanic eruptions. These eruptions formed a lava barrier between the sea and the lagoon, which currently has a circumference of about 1000 meters and an average depth of about three meters. This unique geological formation adds to the natural beauty and interest of the site.
Birdlife at Las salinas de Janubio
Las salinas de Janubio serve as a refuge, nesting, and laying place for many migratory water birds. As a result, they are included in the network of special protection areas for birds (ZEPA). This makes the site a significant location for birdwatching and nature enthusiasts.
