Mig de Dos Rius

Landscape mosaic on the Empordà plane and biodiversity reserve, Mig de Dos Rius (Between Two Rivers) offers a place where nature can be enjoyed and observed. The waters from the Fluvià River, which is omnipresent and serves as the backbone and soul of the space, accompany visitors until they reach the Mediterranean.

Otter

(Lutra lutra)
The reintroduction of the Eurasian otter into the Aiguamolls de l’Empordà Nature Park, a pioneering project in Catalonia, began in 1995. Today, this species, which is commonly found in Mig de Dos Rius (Between Two Rivers), has gradually returned to most rivers in Catalonia. The Eurasian otter is a reliable indicator of the state of conservation of a river ecosystem.

Flora and vegetation

Mown meadows

This is the main habitat in extensive spaces but is quite rare in the Empordà plane; it is rich in graminaceous and leguiminous plants. The orchids that blossom in the springtime are extraordinarily beautiful protected species.

Riverine forest

In the midst of the regeneration process, it includes elms, narrow-leafed ash, willows, alders and poplars, and it is the habitat of the lesser spotted woodpecker.

Narrowleaf cattail

Even though reeds are more abundant, this species traditionally used to make chairs and other items can also be found here.
