Sant Marti lake in Palau-del-Vidre

Palau del Vidre

A real paradise for fisherman, the Sant Marti lake also offers a relaxation and picnic area on the peninsula where you can fully enjoy the beauty of the place.

All kinds of fishing can be done depending on the season! The activity is regulated by a local association (office at the entrance to the lake). It informs you about the conditions and prices in force and issues permits for the day.

Villelongue-dels-Monts

Located in a quiet setting, a little away from the main roads, the lake of Villelongue-dels-Monts is very popular for its wild environment. An hour to go around and observe fauna and flora in this protected site.

We meet fishing lovers there, but also the herd of sheep and sheep of one of the last shepherds of the plain!
