Fauna and flora on the route through La Rabassa

Keep your eyes peeled during your walk and have your camera or binoculars at the ready as you might be able to spot some of the fauna of La Rabassa. The common or least weasel is a good example, living here alongside the fox, but you might find it difficult to spot this elusive mammal, though you can sometimes see its droppings. If you look up at the sky or the tree branches, you might be surprised to see warblers, blue tits or robins.

As for the local flora, you can spot cherry trees, whose flower adds a special colour once the winter cold has passed. You’ll also be able to see countryside maples, which are not all that common in Andorra. Pear trees, apple trees and ash trees are other species you can find on the route, which also crosses tobacco fields, one of the most important economic activities in the Principality.
