I have wanted to take my niece here ever since I found out about it and finally last week we made it there.  If I lived close by I would visit every week at least. It’s free as well.

Apart from the loveliness of a place that is full of birds and on the edge of the sea, the Aiguamolls are wonderful because of their history. They were saved from destruction in the 1980’s when there were plans to drain the marshes and build yet more ghastly flats and hotels.  There was a huge outcry and a strong campaign and this time, they won!

These photos were taken by my niece who also knew the names of all the birds and has kindly allowed me to use her beautiful photos here. 
What a beautiful afternoons walk!
