At the entrance to the area, you walk through a nature center with information boards about animal and bird life, and a couple of employees are happy to tell you about the area. If you follow the path you will come to a bird observatory. In addition to birds, you may be lucky to see rabbits and Mediterranean chameleons.
Along the paths around the area there are many different plants such as Sea Daffodil, Golden Samphire and Sea Lavender.
