The Natural Park of the Empordà Marshes (Aiguamolls) is one of the most well known and emblematic wetlands of Catalonia, both for its biodiversity and variety and good preservation of its landscapes.
The wetlands include some species of nesting birds (bitterns, herons, stork, hawk) and the variety of migrant and wintering birds. During sunset, in quiet places, it is possible to observe the discrete otter.
