In the province of Barcelona, you'll find a open air predatory birds sanctuary in the mountain range, surrounded by beautiful landscapes. You can observe around 30 different bird species that are there to breed and to be observed and studied. In addition, there are over 100 tamed species that show off how they fly as well as some exercises that will give you some idea of how splendid these animals are. Eagle mountain is an enclave located between the localities of Sant Feliu de Codines et Sant Miquel del Fai: it's a natural and cultural abbey-shaped site that includes a hermitage, a church, a priory, along with several rivers, ponds, waterfalls, caves, restaurants, and picnic spots. After having visited the Cim d'Àligues, enjoy a meal in Sant Feliu before continuing on to Sant Miquel del Fai.
