Described by the Tourist Board as a new area for rural tourism the "Terres de l'Ebre" have a wealth of surprises for the discerning tourist. It is truly a beautiful area with an incredibly diverse landscape which will delight walkers, birders and nature lovers. Three major cities (Tarragona, Reus and Tortosa) offer historical sites of international importance and ancient, picturesque villages still retain their character and crafts.

River Ebro Valley

A fertile river valley which is a patchwork of neat fields growing peach, pear, cherry, orange, olive and almond trees. It is a delight to see in Spring when the trees are in blossom and the wild poppies and margaritas flower. The River Ebro of course is also a magnet for anglers who come to catch the massive catfish and wild carp.

Els Ports Natural Park and Montsant Natural Park

The Els Ports mountains in Terra Alta rise to the West of the valley and the Serra del Montsant to the East. Rising to a maximum height of 1447 metres it is wild and craggy landscape with large areas of pine forest. This untamed land is the habitat of a rich variety of wildlife such as the wild cat, the mountain goat, wild boar, vulture and golden eagle. Fantastic, virtually unknown walking trails and stunning landscapes. Also excellent climbing areas.

The Ebro Delta Natural Park

Where the river meets the Mediterranean you will find the Ebro Delta. In contrast to the mountains left behind this is completely flat land covering an area of 320sq kilometres. It is a watery land of lagoons, rice paddies, salt lakes and reed beds which form a unique ecosystem supporting hundreds of species of birds. The sand dunes and deserted beaches are also perfect for a quiet day relaxing in the sun.
