Parc Agrari del Baix Llobregat
El Prat is called “the fields of Barcelona” and it is not a lie! “El Parc Argrari located in our town is a place where apart from seeing how the seasonal produce is grown you can also enjoy a formidable walk surrounded by nature.
The fertile lands of the Llobregat Delta have been cultivated in the agrarian park for years. Thanks to some lands rich in sediments contributed by the Llobregat river and above all, the water.
