Ports Natural Park

Nature · Horta de Sant Joan, Terra Alta, Tarragona

A natural area protecting the Catalan part of the Ports de Beseit massif, in the municipality of Horta de Sant Joan, where Catalonia, Aragon and the Valencian Community meet; a refuge for fauna and flora and one of the most extensive and highly valued natural areas in Catalonia for its geological, biological and scenic interest. It was declared a natural park in 2001, together with the Partial Natural Reserve of the Beech Forests of the Ports, after a lengthy process of engagement between the parties involved. It forms part of the European Natura 2000 network as a special protection area for birds and a site of Community importance, and most of its territory lies within the Terres de l'Ebre Biosphere Reserve.
