A protected coastal area

The Marjal dels Moros lies between the municipalities of Puçol and Sagunto. The local tourism website identifies it as a Special Protection Area for birds. Its interest lies in the wetland habitats and the species that use them to feed, rest or breed.

A visit takes place in a protected environment. Before planning an outing, check the designated access points, follow the signs and consult notices from the responsible organisations.

How the seasons change a visit

The tourism information distinguishes between breeding birds in spring and the concentrations that can be seen in winter. This helps explain why visits in different months will not necessarily produce the same sightings.

Taking binoculars and observing patiently lets you appreciate the surroundings without approaching the animals. Species listed in a guide describe the area’s wildlife; they do not guarantee a sighting on a particular date.

Combining the outing with Puçol

A visit can be followed by other stops in the municipality, depending on your route and the conditions. Check where you will start and finish before booking a meal or continuing towards the beach. For commercial services, use the current directory profiles and confirm opening hours.
