Mouth of the Gaià River - Plana del Vinyet

On the banks of the Gaià River, water shaped a network of mills, ditches and siphons that fed the area's agriculture for centuries. The Mill of el Pas, built in the Middle Ages, harnessed the force of the river to move its millstones and irrigate nearby orchards, creating life around the river. Today, poplars, ash and elm trees once again populate the riverbank forest, while the margallo, mastic and rosemary grow along the paths. Its waters are home to the Mediterranean turtle and the brook turtle, and flying over the river you can see the little egret or the cornelian cherry. The mill and the river recall the close relationship between people and water: a bond that unites history, nature and the future.
