Aiguamolls de l’Empordà
The Aiguamolls de l'Empordà Natural Park is one of the main examples of the Costa Brava natural heritage.
The introduction of agriculture and livestock farming at the beginning, and the subsequent urban pressure in the Empordà area, caused the extensive area of wetlands comprising the Gulf of Roses and the Baix Ter to gradually diminish at an alarming rate. During the 1970s, the firm action of the Grup de Defensa dels Aiguamolls Empordanesos finally made it possible to conserve this area of 4,824 ha.
It is a highly recommended site for hiking and nature lovers. The park has a wide network of itineraries for walking and cycling.
