More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The light along the Trabucador spit thins to gold and the flats begin to breathe — a shallow pulse of pink legs and slow bills working shallows. Visitors arrive with binoculars and low voices as the Mediterranean and the calm waters of the Alfacs Bay trade colors, and flamingos gather in long, elegant clusters that puncture the horizon.
