Salburua is formed by several wetlands that although historically were always in the same place, in the 80’s they were no longer visible to the naked eye, the culprit was none other than the desire of human beings to convert all the land into developable land. In the 90’s, thanks to the ecological awareness of the city of Vitoria-Gasteiz, the wetlands were recovered and the fauna and flora of the environment regained strength, until today, where we can enjoy a great variety of species.
Salburua Park is part of the network of protected natural areas of the European Union (Natura 2000 Network), just with this fact, it is easy to imagine the value and richness of the landscape and nature that this park can offer us. For all the inhabitants of Vitoria-Gasteiz, Salburua Park is synonymous with leisure, recreation, freedom and enjoyment. The youngest members of the family will have a great time watching storks pass over their heads or seeing deer a few meters away, or simply crossing one of the many wooden bridges that are located along the route offered by this park.

The wetlands of Salburua Park are an important resting area for all those migratory birds seeking rest during their long journeys. Each season of the year gives Salburua Park a different air, a new air, which is why depending on the time of year you visit the park, it will be totally different from another time of the year.
The different ponds that we can find in the Salburua park will help us to have a close contact with all the species that live in the wetlands. In addition to the aforementioned ponds, the park has several observatories from which we can enjoy in more detail all the animals in the park.
