Ebro Delta Natural Park

Natural Areas

Ready to discover a horizontal universe? The Ebro Delta Natural Park is the largest protected wetland in Catalonia. It covers 7,736 hectares where the rice fields change colour with the season and draw an extremely rich flora and fauna. More than 800 different plant species grow here, notably reeds, rushes, eucalyptus and river honeysuckle. Much of this vegetation has had to adapt to extreme conditions and colonise dunes, saline soils or lagoon areas. The Delta's wildlife, mainly birds, attracts birdwatching enthusiasts from all over the world. Between 50,000 and 100,000 birds of exactly 343 species have been counted.

El que t'espera

The Delta is completely flat and dotted with bodies of water, so you can enjoy nature on foot, by bike, on horseback or by canoe. Discover the 5 corners you can't miss!

The Bassa de les Olles, at 54 hectares, is the smallest lagoon in the Ebro Delta Natural Park. Connected to the bay of Fangar, between rice fields and dunes, this lagoon is the result of one of the oldest mouths of the Ebro. A visit, which can start from l'Ampolla, is a must: you can spot flamingos, mallards, herons or kingfishers.
