The Mas de la Llosa is the place for anybody wanting to enjoy one of the very best secret rural and wild places Catalonia has to offer, and yet you are only an hour from the busy beaches of the Costa Brava.
Located in the wild mountains of La Albera, it offers you activities related to nature, sport and local traditions, or those related to the beaches.
On the estate, you can find the last population of the native Albera cow. Once a year all the individuals are grouped together to carried out sanitary controls. Cowherds, friends and vets come to help and afterwards, a traditional dinner with local fare is offered.
Some interesting scientific projects are being carried out on the property:
- A butterfly census
- Researches of bats
- Bird migrations (it is an important crossing point over the Pyrenees)
- Study of the native Spanish river crab
- Researches of the native breed of cow.
Some courses and workshops are organized during the year (dancing, yoga, Tai Chi, etc).
