"Have a flutter"

The Butterfly Park, in Empuriabrava, is a place with plenty of butterflies, moths and, more recently, tropical birds. There you can see different species, all of them amazing. Some can travel through oceans and some of them live only one day after mate. In the park, you can also see some iguanas, abandoned because they had grown too much.
In the Butterfly Park, animals and plants live in perfect harmony like in a tropical forest.
