Gallecs, Protected natural area in Barcelona Metropolitan Region, Spain
The Gallecs protected area encompasses 702 hectares of Mediterranean landscapes with grasslands, woodlands, and agricultural fields at 65 meters elevation.
The Spanish government established Gallecs as a protected natural space in 2009 to maintain ecological balance near Barcelona's urban zones.
Local farmers in Gallecs continue Mediterranean agricultural practices, maintaining fields and orchards according to traditional methods passed through generations.
Visitors can explore the natural reserve through marked hiking trails and cycling paths that connect different sections of the protected area.
The preservation of Gallecs creates a natural corridor within Barcelona's metropolitan area, supporting local wildlife and agricultural activities simultaneously.
