The festival in Deltebre
Deltebre is the municipality with the longest programme: school planting on Friday, a festival on Sunday at Finca de Bombita and guided visits to the Canal Vell, a lagoon that only opens on these days.
After the demonstration there is jota, a community lunch and cart and bicycle trips through the rice fields.

Rice harvest
The crews head down to the field and the work is done by hand, as before machinery. Anyone who wants can join them.
