Introduction

The Rec Traient (Traient irrigation channel) collects the surplus water that flows from the different channels that water the vegetable gardens. After it is diverted from the river Ter, 6 km upstream, the water returns to the river. Throughout its course, the vegetation (rushes, reeds and willows) points to the presence of water. 

The vegetable gardens that can be seen from this area are council-owned, and can be rented. The quarter of Santa Eugènia's cultural diversity is reflected by the variety of plants that are grown. Next to the vegetables traditionally grown in the region, it's not uncommon to find peanuts, okra, coriander or mint.
