The decision of including the swamp of Foix in this guide it has been a difficult decision, not for the beauty of the landscape, if not for the human fauna that we will find.
The motoros, marujas, paelleros and some group of you peel
you, they make that it is not advisable at all to visit this marvel
during the weekends, however the rest of days is an oasis of peace.

Clarified this important point will be the activities that you will be able to carry out, the but important, the fishing with cane followed by the senderismo and the picture.
The species but habitual it is the carp, of sizes really considerable up to 10 Kg. they will give us a good while of amusement, of course I suggest you that you return them once to the water fished.
As bait you can use the corn and the earth worm.
For that seen somebody it has loosed red carps of the type that they usually live in the aquariums, for what is frequent to capture some, they have been acclimatized perfectly.
You will surely receive an unexpected visit, the ducks coming from the near restaurant they are about the banks of the swamp requesting food, they are extremely nice and they don't have fear to people.
The senderismo is another interesting activity for these places, a road that skirts the whole swamp, exists you will enter for the prey (picture) and to simply continue in the address of the border of the water, being the whole very accessible bank.
I have used this space for the realization of several catalogs, forests of pines, banks of waters calms, a castle located to the bottom, everything is formed part of a bucolic landscape ideal to photograph clothes in external.

For I finish to comment you that the prey you builds in 1928, this built with seat, quarry stone carved in form of blocks that fit perfectly together with mortar. It is very interesting the control system of grown of the prey, simply a border has been built but I lower in the left side of the prey, in the grown case of an abrupt one of the level of the water, simply he/she overflows and it is deviated by a lateral channel.
An aqueduct drove the water toward near populations, this in perfect state and you will see it when arriving to the prey from the coast.
The river Foix ends in the beach of Cubellas, beside a bunker of the Spanish Civil War, the area this in recovery and we will be able to observe birds like gulls, ducks and pacharas (garceta common), besides batrachians.
