Description

The Madrigueres wetland is a small coastal area of about 30 hectares, located near Sant Salvador, includes the old channel of the Riera de la Bisbal and the adjacent floodplains, from the train tracks to the sea. It is an area that has not been urbanized, where you can still find agricultural areas derived from the old traditional agricultural uses that are no longer in use.. Les Madrigueres can be attractive for photographing Θαλασσοσφυριχτής and other Mediterranean and coastal species. Αιγαιόγλαρος often flies by.
