The Laguna de Peñahueca is a hypersaline wetland located south of the municipal area of Villacañas (Toledo), beside the road to Villafranca. In summer the water recedes and leaves salt crusts up to a centimetre thick on the bed, a feature that gives it its natural and scenic value. In its surroundings cranes, flamingos and other waterbirds typical of the lagoons of La Mancha can be observed.
