Image of El Gordo, not of the place itself.

Since the construction of the Valdecañas reservoir in 1963, its shallow waters have attracted a large colony of white storks that feed on amphibians, small reptiles and fish; a sign at the entrance to the village marks it as the largest stork colony in Spain, with more than 400 individuals.
