Pyrenees

La Terreta and La Serra de Sant Gervàs


La Terreta is the Pre-Pyrenees in its purest state, a wide valley overlooked by escarpments (such as the majestic Serra de Sant Gervàs mountain range), sheltering 15 hamlets where silence reigns. Known as “the valley of the vultures”, it is the perfect place to observe the country’s large scavengers and hike through solitary landscapes. El Casal dels Voltors (the House of the Vultures) is a very special facility, with cameras for a close-up view of these enormous birds.
