Hiking
The Matà lakes (also known as Matar rice paddies) are a wet area of artificial origin that occupies an approximate area of 91 hectares. In the past, rice was cultivated on this surface.
The space is currently flooded by pumping, trying to maintain optimal levels for the populations of waterfowl that frequent the space.
