In 1986, the coastal marshes of la Pletera disappeared due to the construction of a promenade and six apartment blocks on the seafront. After a few years, the city halls of Torroella de Montgrí and L'Estartit joined forces to deurbanize the area and restore the natural space.

By Tània Hirte
Early in the morning, we can smell the freshness in the fields along the banks of the River Ter. The night has moved on elsewhere as day breaks.

Today I'll move beyond these landmarks, above the lines, shapes, textures, and colors. I'll fly high,... |

I was dreaming of a heavenly Greek beach, but I stayed put in a bright cove in Palamós. The pandemic kept me from venturing too far from home, and this was the perfect excuse to stick around for local tourism.

On the way to Maçanet de Cabrenys stormy dark clouds cover the Albera mountains. The sun doesn’t shine, but we are so keen on nature that we happily follow the Darnius road, breathing in the green across the woods. The landscape changes quickly, Mediterranean forest fades away and we soon find the mountainous vegetation of Albera and Salines. Surrounded by oaks and hollies we head towards ... |
