Watching the Nature
Watching birds and fauna: Various couples of falcons nest in the castle of Montclar. It is very interesting to watch, even from the houses, the flight of these birds, their hunting behaviour and the peculiar sounds they produce to communicate between themselves.
Riding a horse between this area of the regions of Urgell and La Noguera, one can see rich landscapes (agricultural areas between small forests of oaks and holm oaks), where different species of animals live together. A journey through the ways that communicate the town of Montclar with other towns of the zone, will offer us the possibility of watching numerous birds and the rest of the fauna that live there.
Note:
The historical centre of the town of Montclar that is around the castle was strongly damaged during the bombardments of the Civil War. Once the war was over, the restoration of this historical centre started, repairing a part of the castle on one side, and on the other, the former weapons courtyard. The schools, the city hall and the abbey, where the rector of the town lived, were built. Besides that, four more houses were built to be inhabited by the secretary of the town council, the doctor, and the male and female teachers. It is worthy saying that during those times boys and girls were separated in the school.
These four houses have been recently renovated and modernized. They have been equipped with all the services and comforts, and constitute the group of houses of "Cases del Castell", with a total capacity for 40 persons.
