Following that, venture into the marsh reserve, a vital wetland in northern Spain, where binoculars are provided for birdwatching, specifically targeting marsh lemicola birds.

The tour continues with a visit to the anchovy factory. Here, you’ll gain insight into the production process of anchovy fillets, culminating in a tasting of the factory's products.
