Description
Desembocadura Riera de Riudoms (Maspujols) or the mouth of the Riudoms stream forms a small sheet of water when it reaches the sea surrounded by some reeds. Mallard and Eurasian Moorhen breed here. However, it is during migration when other species such as Penduline Tit, Reed Warbler, or Water Rail can be seen. It is in winter when the place is most interesting to visit, especially to look for some Common Gull among the Mediterranean Gull and Black-headed Gull or a Bonaparte's Gull that has been wintering here for several years. Also, if you look out to sea, you can find Red-breasted Merganser, Great Crested Grebe or the commoner Great Cormorant or European Shag.
If you visit the place from November to march after 4 pm you can wait until dusk when thousands of Mediterranean Gull come to rest at sea after washing their plumage in fresh water. But you never know which place they will choose. It can be north of this point, also in Salou, or just south the Cambrils fishing port.

Access
You can go walking or by bike easily from Salou or Cambrils. There is also a bus stop near by. You can also park easily if you don't go in the summer. But in summer the place has little interest anyway.
