International Day of the Natural Parks

In commemoration of the declaration of the first European national park in Sweden on May 24, 1909, the Federation of Natural and National Parks of Europe ( Europarc ), an organization that brings together 38 countries , celebrates the European Day of Parks.

In Catalonia in 1928 the Board of Montseny Mountain was born, the first figure of protection of a natural area in Catalonia, followed, and later, in 1972, San Lorenzo del Munt and l'Obac, the first space declared a natural park in the whole Spanish State.

In our country we have a declared national park: the National Park of Aigüestortes and Lake of San Mauricio (since 1955), to which we must add other natural parks and another 150 spaces grouped into different legal protection figures that represent 30% of our territory
