Lake Banyoles

Lake Banyoles is located only 12 km from the city of Girona, and Lake Banyoles is currently the largest natural lake in Catalonia, fed by subterranean channels naturally, as Lake Sils, located 33 km south, was the largest lake in the region previously, until it dried up in 1851. This lake is an attractive tourist destination for a day out, especially in the summer when everyone can take a walk in the shade of the branches of the water trees, in addition to boat trips, canoeing, or swimming. In addition to all this, there are legends that claim that Lake Banyoles contains its own mythical beast, which supposedly lurks at depths of 190 feet.
