Its characteristic red color is due to a local species of silt called marine sargadilla that covers part of its soil.

This nature reserve is a key habitat for migratory birds en route between Asia and Australia. It is a place of refuge for 236 species of birds, of which 30 are protected species.

In spring, this place has little to call attention because the algae on the surface remain green at this time of year, causing the same effect as the grass. In summer, however, things change because the seaweed begins to dry out due to lack of nutrients and loses its green color, acquiring a much more pinkish tone that turns into an intense red in autumn.
