### Texto Multilinea
HTMLText_00E80891_4ABE_252D_41A9_03B9C41FA3AE.html = In the 17th and 18th centuries, the Bahía de Cádiz was an important commercial emporium and a strategic military enclave that needed a peculiar defensive strategy:
to turn Cadiz into a fortress city and defend the strategic points of access by land and sea. Forts, castles, bastions were built,... today located largely within the Natural Park.
Puente Zuazo and its bastions: The only land connection between San Fernando and Cadiz and a place where goods bound for the port of Cadiz must pass. The Napoleonic troops did not manage to cross it. San Fernando and Cadiz resisted a two and a half year siege and the national Cortes were formed there and the first Spanish Constitution was drawn up in 1812.
Fort of San Luis: It defended the entrance to the Trocadero and Carraca pipes, where the ships of the Navy were repaired. In 1823, when the French army invaded Spain again, the Cortes took refuge again in Cadiz. The French managed to take the fort during the Battle of the Trocadero, which meant the surrender of Cádiz. This put an end to the 1812 Constitution and began one of the darkest and most repressive periods in Spanish history.
Sancti Petri Castle and Batería de Urrutia: They defended the sea entrance to the Sancti Petri canal. During the French siege and the second blockade in 1823, the castle was heavily bombed.

The Bahía de Cádiz Natural Park is an extreme space. Its inhabitants were adapted to the sun and salt, the mud and the tide in order to live there.
Although not many have managed to do so.
DUEL OF THE SUN, THE SALT AND THE TIDE
The plants that colonized the marsh had to face tough conditions. Very few managed to overcome the high sunshine, tidal flooding, excess salt and lack of oxygen in the soil, such as
Salting: It accumulates the salt in the leaves and eliminates it with the fall of these.
The “sapina”: Accumulates water in stems and leaves and synthesizes red pigments as sun protection.
The “espartina”: Develops its roots on the surface of the mud to absorb oxygen more easily.

The salt flats are the best strategy to make the unfavorable conditions of this environment the biggest allies to produce salt.
Today's recipe for the Bahía de Cádiz Natural Park salt
The estuary fills up after a strong tide. Afterwards, the water passes through the circuit of channels in the saline, letting the sun shine in.
We wait a few days, until the water reaches the appropriate salt concentration, and then it goes to the next compartment of the circuit.
This step-by-step circuit makes evaporation faster. At the end of the circuit, the water is passed to the pits where the salt crystals are formed. The dry east wind accelerates the evaporation of the water.
Finally, the salt is collected.
THE LAW OF THE PIPE
Many coastal fish are raised in the marshes where they find food and shelter. While they are young, they endure the salinity, temperature and oxygen shortage of the water in the pipes. When they become adults, they return to the open sea, where they spend the rest of their lives.
There are 60 species of fish in the Park's streams, 40 of which are of fishing interest. Preserving the marshes is the best strategy to guarantee fishing in the future.

Pioneering salt makers: The Bahía de Cádiz was one of the first areas of the Iberian Peninsula where salt production began. The profession of salt maker has always been present there.
The Tartessians obtained salt by evaporating sea water in ceramic pots heated by fire.
Phoenicians and Romans created solar salt pans from a single pond dug in the mud of the marsh.
The Andalusians invented the salt pans of several successive ponds.
Since the middle of the 18th century, the artisanal saltworks system has been developed, which has reached our days and made the saltworks of the Bay the most productive of the time.

The plant remains produced by the marsh are decomposed by bacteria and serve as food for crustaceans, shellfish and worms that live in the mud, animals that are important for water birds, fish …
Eighty different species of invertebrates have been found in the mud of the Natural Park. In 1 square meter there are 60 thousand invertebrates that weigh a total of around one and a half kilograms.
The plants are the soul of the marsh, responsible for the high productivity of the sludge. They produce a large amount of plant remains that goes into the mud.
The invertebrates of the mud are the main food of the waders.
The fish in the marsh pipes feed mainly on invertebrate larvae that float in the water and end up being buried in the mud.
Shell fishing is a traditional activity in the Natural Park, which must be made compatible with the conservation of invertebrate and bird populations.
At high tide, the molluscs and worms that live underground take out their siphons to feed on particles in the water, at this moment the fish get a prey.
At low tide, molluscs and worms retract their siphons and close to conserve moisture, at which time waders search for food.
The fiddler crab or mouth of the bay lives in burrows that it digs into the mud. The males perform a dance with their larger claws to attract the attention of the females and scare off other males. When something alerts them, they quickly hide in their burrow.

WATER OR SAND, EVERYTHING FLOWS IN THE WIND.
The wind is a constant in the Bahía de Cádiz Natural Park. The east and west are the predominant winds and condition its life.
The easterly wind is dry and warm. It blows, burns and can even drive you crazy when it blows hard. It causes the salt flats to be productive by greatly accelerating the evaporation of water.
The westerly wind is wet and cool. It's the most frequent wind, but it doesn't reach the strength of the easterly. It generates the waves that shape the beaches of the Bay and drags the sand accumulating in dunes.

THE VOICE OF EXPERIENCE
Oyster grandmother: The rocky islets of the Bahía de Cádiz are made up of oyster rock, a conglomerate of sand and molluscs shells, the remains of Cadiz beaches from 5 million years ago.
Mature marshes: The inland areas of the marshes gradually lose the influence of the tide. In a few hundred years saline grasslands are formed.
Pre-retirement dunes: As the vegetation develops on them, the sands stop being blown away by the wind.
BIRD: TRAVEL AGENCY FOR BIRDS
The Bahía de Cádiz Natural Park is an extensive wetland full of invertebrates that is strategically located in the middle of the route of the migratory trips that many birds make between Europe and Africa, being a place of feeding and rest where to refuel energy. The conservation of this space is essential for the world's bird populations.
GENIUM AND FIGURE
The Bahía de Cádiz Natural Park has received numerous acknowledgements from within and outside our borders.
Natural Park: In 1989, the area of marshes and salt flats, some beaches, dunes and coastal pine forests of the Bay were protected as a Natural Park. Inside the park are included the Natural Sites Isla del Trocadero and Marismas de Sancti Petri and the Natural Monument Punta del Boquerón.
Special Protection Zone for Birds: In 1993, it was declared a Special Protection Zone for Birds because of its relevance to the conservation of endangered bird species.
Wetland of International Interest, Ramsar Convention: Since 2002, it has been included in the list of wetlands of international importance of the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands. Its main objective is the conservation and rational use of wetlands as a contribution to the achievement of sustainable development.
Site of Community Importance, Natura 2000 Network: In 2006, it was ratified by the European Union as a Site of Community Importance, because of its priority habitats for the conservation of biodiversity. It is part of the European network of natural areas, known as the Natura 2000 network.

Connected Gears: The life cycles of the inhabitants of the Natural Park connect with each other and depend on each other to be in motion:
Plants are the soul of the marsh. The mud is their support. The plants retain the sludge with their roots which provide it with their plant remains which are converted by the sludge into fertilizer for the plants.
Crustaceans, molluscs and worms spend their lives in the marsh. They swim in the water when they are larvae and bury themselves in the mud when they are adults
Many coastal fish spend their youth in the marsh pipes and return to the sea as adults.
Water birds use the Natural Park to spend the winter, to nest in spring or to rest and feed during their migrations between Europe and Africa in autumn.
Fusion of rhythms
A mixture of rhythms marks the day-to-day life of the Natural Park
To the rhythm of the tide
The mud flats are the largest intertidal areas in the Bay where the tide marks the feeding time of waders, which feed on muddy invertebrates.
To the rhythm of the sun
In the pine forests of the Natural Park, day and night animals take turns using the space.
To the rhythm of the city
The life of human beings follows the schedules of work and trade.
The wheel of seasons
Spring: The Natural Park fills up with color and life. You can observe the red and purple colors of the arthrocnemum (almajos) and white of the flowers in the lagoons. The main breeding season for water birds. The salt flats are prepared to start production.
Summer: Splendid beaches full of swimmers. The birds migrated mostly northward. The greenery has disappeared. Salt flats are at their highest splendor, when the weather conditions are optimal for salt production.
Autumn: The birds that migrate between Europe and Africa use the Natural Park to rest and feed. The greens once again dominate the marshes and the storms shake the sea around them. The salt flats cease their activity.
Winter: Tens of thousands of birds come to the Natural Park, escaping from the cold of northern Europe. The mud fills up in low tide with birds looking for food. The beaches have lost some sand. In the salt flats, the estuary remains open, being cleaned by the filling and emptying of the tide..

THE CALENDAR OF THE BAY

THE CALENDAR OF THE BAY
Lunar months: In the Natural Park, the months go by at the rhythm of live and dead tides that depend on the lunar month every 28 days.
New Moon / Full Moon: The attractions of the Moon and the Sun on Earth are combined in a living tide. The difference in level between high and low tide is maximum, and can reach more than 3.5 meters in the Bahía de Cádiz.
Crescent / Diminishing quarter: The Moon and the Sun are at right angles to the Earth. The attractions of both stars oppose each other causing a dead tide. So the difference in level between high and low tide is minimal, at most 1 meter in the Bahía de Cádiz.
FLOWS: OUR NATURE IS IN MOVEMENT; COMPLETE REST IS LIKE DEATH.
The Bahía de Cádiz Natural Park is a space in continuous movement .
The tide pumps sea water that transports oxygen, nutrients, living organisms or sediments, sustaining the life of the marsh.
This dynamism makes the marsh one of the most productive spaces in nature.
Sharing the wealth. With the ebb of the tide, the marsh exports organic matter and nutrients to the nearby coastal bottoms.
Short circuits. When the tidal flow is interrupted, the vegetation and other organisms living in the marsh disappear.
Directing traffic. The interruption of the tidal circulation allows humans to produce salt. Salt flats are a system for artificially regulating water flows.

Bahía de Cádiz Natural Park
In the Bay of Cadiz Natural Park, the tide is an important source of energy
It has built the landscape of the marshes, transports the materials needed for life in it and connects its inhabitants.
The human being learned to use the energy of the tides: to feed water to the salt flats, to navigate through the pipes and to grind the cereal grain with the sea mills.
Back to the future. The sea mills appeared in the Bahía de Cádiz in the 15th century and their maximum splendor in the 17th and 18th centuries. With the industrial revolution, their energy was replaced by others. Don't you think it's time to recover it?
