This lake was drained in 1951 and restored at the beginning of the twenty-first century. At 126 hectares it is the largest inland lagoon in Catalonia. It is located in the heart of the Lleida cereal plains, making it a good location to spot both aquatic and steppe species. The restoration project included creating islands with different shapes, slopes and heights at a variety of locations throughout the lake to encourage birds and other animal species.
