Aiguabarreig

The Aiguabarreig forms where the Segre, Cinca, and Ebro rivers meet, creating extensive wetlands with river islands and riparian forests spanning 40,000 hectares.

The term Aiguabarreig originates from Catalan language, traditionally used to designate locations where multiple water streams converge to form a single watercourse.

The surrounding area contains remnants of 150 years of mining history, with the Museum of the Mine presenting authentic coal extraction equipment and machinery.

Information centers in Seros and Massalcoreig provide guidance for visitors, with marked trails leading through gallery woodlands and along both riverbanks.

The confluence reaches 600 meters in width at certain points, supporting over 200 bird species including squacco herons, Bonelli's eagles, and peregrine falcons.
