El Picacho lagoon in summer

by Antonio Jordán, University of Seville, Sevilla, Spain

El Picacho lagoon is a round depression near the Picacho peak, in Los Alcornocales Natural Park (Cádiz and Málaga, SW Spain). Although the lagoon is full of water in winter, in summer it dries completely, when the phreatic water level drops.
