Reserva natural dels Nou Pins

Reserva Natural 9 Pins is a private wildlife reserve dedicated to conservation, birdwatching, and ethical wildlife photography. Nestled within the Mediterranean forests of the Serralada de Marina Natural Park, the reserve offers an immersive nature experience just a short distance from Barcelona, combining exceptional wildlife encounters with sustainable tourism.

The reserve is home to a diverse community of Mediterranean birdlife and features two purpose-built bird photography hides, carefully designed to provide natural, close-up encounters with a wide variety of species throughout the year. These hides are ideal for both photographers and birdwatchers seeking intimate wildlife experiences while respecting the animals and their habitat.

One of the reserve’s most unique experiences is its Little Owl (Athene noctua) hide, offering visitors the chance to observe and photograph one of Europe’s most charismatic nocturnal birds in a natural setting.

For those looking for even more unforgettable encounters, Reserva 9 Pins also offers a Night Hide Session focused on the European Badger (Meles meles). As darkness falls, guests can witness these elusive mammals emerging from the forest, creating an exciting and authentic wildlife experience rarely available so close to a major city.

Visitors can complete their stay at Ca l’Andreu Eco Lodge, a beautifully restored 16th-century farmhouse surrounded by vineyards, organic gardens, and Mediterranean woodland. Designed with sustainability at its core, the eco lodge provides a peaceful retreat where guests can relax in nature while enjoying comfortable accommodation, making it the perfect base for multi-day wildlife photography and birdwatching experiences.
Whether you are a wildlife photographer, passionate birder, or nature lover, Reserva Natural 9 Pins offers a unique combination of conservation, exceptional hides, comfortable accommodation, and unforgettable wildlife encounters in one of Catalonia’s most accessible natural settings.
