Cadí-Moixeró Natural Park, Mountain natural park in northern Catalonia, Spain.
Cadí-Moixeró Natural Park is a mountain protected area in northern Catalonia that covers two mountain ranges with peaks reaching 2,648 meters. The landscape contains valleys, forests, and meadows that create different types of terrain throughout the park.
The park was established in 1983 to protect the mountain landscape and its ecosystems from development. This decision was crucial for environmental conservation in the Pyrenees and Pre-Pyrenees region.
The villages within the park show traditional stone buildings and narrow streets that reflect how mountain communities have lived here for generations. Walking through these settlements, you can sense how closely residents have adapted to life in the high valleys.
The best access is by car or buses from nearby towns such as Puigcerdà. Visitors should bring proper hiking boots and clothing suited to changing mountain conditions.
The park is home to rare bat species like the small whiskered bat found in its older forests. These animals are difficult to spot, but they shape the nighttime life of this mountain area.
