THIS IS EL REMOLAR LAKE
The viewpoint at La Reguera Salabrosa offers the first glimpse of one of the Llobregat Delta’s signature reserves. Before you stretches a varied landscape which is home to numerous species, with wet areas, reed beds, coastal sands and a forest of stone pine. Free-roaming horses graze the marshlands behind, completing the picture-postcard view. Sounds pretty idyllic, doesn’t it?
With views like this, you can see why El Remolar is perfect for a visit with the kids. And if you like watching aquatic birds, you’ll love it: you can see species such as the golden plover, cormorants, snipes, egrets, teal and more.
Did you know the route takes in a spectacular orchid meadow? That’s right, the Las Filipinas marshes are home to one of the largest concentrations and greatest diversity of orchids in the whole Llobregat Delta. Amazing, right?
The 1,640 km interpretive trail is both flat and suitable for wheelchairs, making it very easy to follow. Informative panels along the route offer details and pictures of the flora and fauna you can find in the area. To really get the most out of your visit, don’t forget your binoculars!
