Ventalló Vantage Point Verified listing

This east-facing vantage point construction offers magnificent views over Sant Pere Pescador and the Aiguamolls Natural Park. The landscape elements of the area can also be seen, such as pine forests, fruit and olive trees, cypress trees creating borders around the open fields and farms. The Aiguamolls Natural Park includes a series of highly diverse environments that ensure the presence of a good number of plant and fauna species, especially birds. The planted areas and, in particular, the cypress tree borders are a unique and peculiar element of the Empordà plain. Planted with the purpose of protecting the crops against the north wind, these elements have become an identifying feature of this landscape. The Empordà plain has undergone a strong human intervention since ancient times, as evidenced by the archaeological sites of Roses and Empúries. The growing occupation of the territory as a result of residential urban development and the consequent loss of natural and landscape values has marked the development of certain sectors of the plain.
