One of the wildest natural areas in Catalonia, its diverse landscapes range from the green meadows and lush forests of the Boumort and Carreu mountain ranges to the steep cliffs of the Collegats gorge. Birds of prey and mountain birds abound and the Boumort mountain range is the only place in Europe where all four species of European vulture can be found. In autumn, the bellowing of the stags is another great natural spectacle.

Guide to the Boumort National Hunting Reserve (pdf)
There are many travel agencies, companies, organisations and professional guides in the Ebre-Secans-Pirineus corridor who have in-depth knowledge of the region and the bird species that can be observed and photographed
We advise you to take advantage of the services they offer to enjoy truly memorable birding experiences.
Rutes Muntanya offers half-day birdwatching tours in the Ebro Delta’s most representative habitats. The tours follow the delta’s labyrinth of paths, and combine birdspotting with explanations of features that go unnoticed by casual visitors: firework storage huts, drains, pumping stations, natural filters, traditional fishing methods, etc.
This feeding station for birds of prey located in Tartareu has two fully-equipped and well-camouflaged hides from which birdwatchers can closely observe and photograph the main species of scavengers. The purpose of the feeding station is to protect, promote and exploit wildlife, and to preserve their ecosystems.
In this nature reserve, managed by SEO/BirdLife, work is being done to demonstrate that organic rice farming is compatible with the recovery of natural wetlands. It contains an elevated hide with superb views over a lagoon, as well as a visitor centre built in a traditional hut.
The Alinyà Mountain is the largest private estate in Catalonia. It belongs to the Catalunya – La Pedrera Foundation and offers activities managed by the company Auberria, including “Eating with vultures”, to watch these scavengers feed, and “Guard for a day”, to get closer to them. A photographers’ hide is also available.
