Birdwatching from the Séquia Major in La Pineda
The Séquia Major is a natural area protected by the Plan for Areas of Natural Interest (PEIN) of the Generalitat de Catalunya since 1992. This 17.3-hectare coastal wetland in La Pineda Platja (Vila-seca) is the most important marshland between the Llobregat Delta and the Ebre Delta.
More information
Access to the Séquia Major is regulated and guided during the months when the birds are not nesting, from August to February. The area stands out for its biodiversity and the presence of many species. There you will find plant communities of reedbeds, wet meadows and rushbeds, as well as unique animals such as the Iberian toothcarp (Aphanius iberus) and the European pond turtle (Emys orbicularis), species you will rarely see elsewhere in Catalonia because they are endangered.
