Tablas de Daimiel National Park (Parque Nacional de las Tablas de Daimiel) is a nature reserve in south-central Spain on the plain of La Mancha. The nearest city is Ciudad Real about 30 km away. It is Spain's smallest national park,[1] covering 19.28 km².[2] It is a marshy area where the Guadiana river joins the Ciguela river, and is home to many bird species, some year round. It is located at 39°09′N, 3°40′W.[2]

The most of the park lands are owned by the town of Villarrubia de los Ojos, but it is named after Daimiel, a town which also has land inside of it. So Villarrubia's mayor tried to change its name to 'Tablas de Daimiel y Villarrubia'
