Birdwatching in Matarraña
The confluence of the Matarraña River with the Ebro and its environmental diversity offer the opportunity to learn and have fun in an incomparable setting. The Matarraña River has carved out a unique landscape, where we can find well-preserved: riverbed, waters, escarpments, gallery forest, and Mediterranean forest. Splendid nature, sustainable successes that generate biodiversity of incalculable value.
In short, we offer a location that allows travelers to observe different bird species in a single day; we showcase a territory where sightings of a wide variety of species are guaranteed throughout the year. The most enthusiastic birdwatchers will be able to obtain truly impressive lists.
