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.
This initiative is based in an abandoned village that has now been restored for ecotourism, with photographers’ hides, photography courses and workshops and a rural home offering tourist accommodation (Casa Felip). The hides overlook a feeding station, allowing photographers to capture spectacular images of golden eagles, bearded vultures and other scavengers.
This foundation rescues mistreated or injured wild animals and, if possible, returns them to the wild. When this is not possible, they are homed in the zoo, which also offers educational activities such as guided tours, bird of prey flying displays, experiences with owls and photographing birds in captivity.
Sikarra Nostra provides guided excursions in Les Terres de Ponent to learn about the natural heritage and landscape of the Central Plateau. Activities include bird watching and identifying species from their songs, as well as experiences to discover the secrets of the fascinating world of insects.

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.
