Facts and practical information

The marsh of the Moor or the marsh of the Moor is a protected area ZEPA, a wetland located between the municipalities of Puzol and Sagunto, in the province of Valencia, specifically in the Huerta Norte. It is one of the most important areas for waterfowl in the province of Valencia.

Previously, this marsh covered the distance between the Albufera and, along the coast, Canet de Berenguer. Its destruction began with the cultivation of rice and later, due to the drop in crop prices, the land was sold for the construction of houses on the beach, which completely destroyed the marsh and separated it into small nuclei, of which only the marsh of Rafalell and Vistabella, in Masamagrell and in the Valencian districts of Rafalell and Vistabella, as well as the same marsh of the Moor, in Sagunto/Puzol are preserved.
