Splashing season has been declared in the Banyoles lake. The pond, with abundant water after the last rains, shows a great activity of waterfowl, as can be seen in the Photos of the Readers of La Vanguardia.

Life makes its way in the lake, with the birth of the chicks in the nests of the different birds that nest in the pond. It is time for the pups to learn to swim.

Banyoles Lake is rich in flora and fauna. There are several very well indicated routes. The most popular is approximately 6 km long and there are walkways and viewpoints that border the pond and bring you closer to the water to be able to contemplate it. It can be explored on foot or by bicycle.

Banyoles Lake is the largest pond in Catalonia and was part of the competition venues for the 1992 Olympics.

The pond and its lake basin are considered the largest karstic complex in Spain, constituting an environmental system of notable value.
