Ebro Delta

The Ebro Delta is second only to the Carmargue in size. Well cultivated but with a number of wildlife sanctuaries, it provides a haven for over 300 species of birds. Near the Cap de Tortosa is Riumar, a small town set alongside a 5 kilometre beach which extends all the way back to The Golf de St. Jordi near the mainland.

Terra Alta

Forms a plateau of ground behind the Els Ports Natural park. If you drive up the Ebro Valley past Xerta and turn left towards Prat de Compteyou will be rewarded with a wonderfull drive to be confronted with an almost alpine valley set off by the majestic pillars of the Roques de Benet.
