Its importance is increased, as in the case of Laguna Honda, due to the shortage of wet areas in the province. Natural vegetation has been transformed and only remains of perilagunar vegetation remain. The most common species are carrizo, swordsman and tarage. The fauna of this nature reserve of 6.5 hectares of extension, as such, and 39 hectares of protection area, is related to that of the neighbouring Laguna del Conde or Salobral in the province of Córdoba.

Surrounded by olive groves, it has a small natural vegetation of spadaws, reeds and carrizos. Among the aquatic birds, the occasional presence of pink flamingos, storks, royal anades and whistles and red ducks and spoon stands out. As for the terrestrial fauna, the rabbit and the red partridge abound in the area.

Until a few years ago, on spring and summer Sundays it was a very busy place. The Sunday of Resurrection was difficult to find a shadow of free oak or chaparro, because almost all the people of Canena, Rus and other villages camped that day to enjoy a day of field.

In the vicinity of the Hueta there are waterfalls and a lagoon that we suggest you discover. Very close to the Hueta there are other villages such as Puente Honda and you can even approach the ruins of the castle of the same name.

This spring has never been enough to fertilize all the lands that extend on a decreasing level towards the Guadalbullion River. On the other hand, the years of drought have always been very numerous, in which the volume of this source was significantly reduced, because the piezometric surface of the aquifer located to the north of the population, which gives rise to the Charca spring, is linked to driving through galleries with siphoning phenomena.
