The recent rains have helped a lot to the fields in the agricultural area of Gavà, as we see in the Photos of the Readers of La Vanguardia, leaving a wonderful green in the fields like a carpet, something so desired.
In the lower basin and the Llobregat Delta, there is one of the oldest and most fertile agricultural areas in the country. The Parc Agrari del Baix Llobregat not only contributes to improving the quality of life of citizens, but is an ideal space for walking between large cities in the Barcelona area.
In the Llobregat Delta, on the flat lands, orchard cultivation clearly dominates. They are close to the sea, but conditioned by the salinity of the irrigation water.
Some of the most notable products are the Gavà asparagus, or the artichoke, which occupies a good part of the farmland, especially in municipalities such as El Prat or Sant Boi.
Other plants that are used for their roots (radishes, carrots) or bulbs (onions, leeks) stand out in Gavà, favored by the sandy soils.
Chard, cauliflowers and beans are other species grown in the Delta, in the lower basin and in the small irrigated plains of the municipalities that are part of the Parc Agrari area.
