Lagoons of El Tobar

Nature · Beteta, Serranía Alta, Cuenca

Karst lake complex next to the hamlet of El Tobar. The Laguna Grande is meromictic: it holds fresh water at the surface and water up to three times saltier than the sea at the bottom, without the two layers mixing, a phenomenon of worldwide scientific interest.
