    A bird paradise, storks, flamingos .. Large parking lot where you - unofficially - can stay overnight.

        One of the four towers can be climbed. From the top you have a great view of the Parc Natural dels Aiguamolls and the bay of Roses. The towers are old silos used to store and dry rice grown on adjacent rice fields.

            The Parc Natural dels Aiguamolls de l'Empordà is a 5,000-hectare wetland area where many bird species occur.

            The natural park is located south of Empúriabrava between the mouths of the Riú Muga and the Riú Fluviá. It is a swamp area that also includes a beach and dune area. You will find salt pans and freshwater lagoons in the area. In the 1970s, there were plans to build a holiday resort in the area, but after fierce protests among the population, these plans were not implemented and the area was declared a protected natural landscape in the 1980s. Today, part of the area is open to the public. The El Cortalet information center offers you information about the area and leaflets of various walks you can take through the area. You will find this center when you turn right on the road to Castelló d'Empúries about 3 km after Sant Pere-Pescador. There is a parking lot at the center and you can then explore the area on foot. Along the various hiking trails you will find observation huts that offer you the opportunity to spot birds. 323 different bird species have been observed in the area, including flamingos, storks and bearded birds. You will see many birds, especially in spring and autumn, because this is the time when migratory birds visit the area.

              Beautiful Parc between Empuriabrava and Sant Pere Pescador. Great to stay away from the main road. You can’t cycle everywhere but there are plenty of great tracks to find. In high season I can be very busy so be kind to each other and give everyone some space ✌🏼

                This route is not a circular route. The entire coastal area has been closed this year, 2025, to further protect the local wildlife.
