Places to see in ( Tarragona - Spain ) Ebro Delta Park
The Ebro Delta is the delta region of the Ebro River, in the Province of Tarragona, Catalonia, in northeastern Spain. It is on the Mediterranean Sea, and is the northernmost point, by some designations, of the Gulf of Valencia.
The Ebro Delta is one of the largest wetland areas 320 square kilometres (79,000 acres) in the western Mediterranean region. The Ebro delta has expanded rapidly on soils washed downriver. The town of Amposta, a seaport in the 4th century, demonstrates the historical rate of growth of the delta as it is now located well inland from the current river mouth. The rounded form of the delta attests to the balance between sediment deposition by the Ebro and removal of this material by wave erosion.
The area at the primary mouth of the Ebro is currently protected by several fluvial islands: the Isle of Garxal (280 hectares (690 acres)), the Isle of Sant Antoni (170 hectares (420 acres)), and the Isle of Buddha (1,231 hectares (3,040 acres)). The Ebro Delta was placed, with 7.736 ha in 1993, on the Ramsar Convention list of wetlands of international importance as defined for the conservation and sustainable utilization of wetlands, recognizing the fundamental ecological functions of wetlands and their economic, cultural, scientific, and recreational value.
In 1983 Spain designated a large part of the delta as a natural park. Ebro Delta Natural Park (Catalan: Parc Natural del Delta de l'Ebre, Spanish: Parque Natural del Delta del Ebro) has a total surface area of 7,802 hectares (19,280 acres) The natural park has protected wetlands, beaches, marshes, salt pans, and estuaries that provide extensive habitats.
The park is of international importance for 8 of its plant species and 69 of its vertebrate fauna. It has some 95 breeding species of birds, is also very important for over 300 species of a wide range of transient and overwintering species, and serves as an essential stopover point for large numbers of migratory birds and waterfowl. The Ebro delta has the world's largest colony of Audouin's gulls. In 2006 it held a record number of more than 15,000 pairs.

During 9, 10 and 11 September 2007 I paid visites to the Ebre Delta (Ebro Delta.The Ebro (Catalan: Ebre) is Spain's most voluminous river. It starts at Fontibre (in the province of Cantabria) and passes Miranda de Ebro, Logroño, Zaragoza, Flix, Tortosa, and Amposta before ending in a delta on the MediterraneanThe Ebro Delta is one of the largest wetland areas (320 km²) in the western Mediterranean region. The Ebro delta has grown rapidly—the historical rate of growth of the delta is demonstrated by the town of Amposta. This town was a seaport in the 4th Century, and is now located well inland from the current Ebro river mouth. The rounded form of the delta attests to the balance between sediment deposition by the Ebro and removal of this material by wave erosion.The modern delta is in intensive agricultural use for rice, fruit, and vegetables. The Ebro delta also hosts numerous beaches, marshes, and salt pans that provide habitat for over 300 species of birds. A large part of the delta was designated as Ebro Delta Natural Park in 1983. A network of canals and irrigation ditches constructed by both agricultural and conservation groups are helping to maintain the ecologic and economic resources of the Ebro Delta.

EDEN 2009 - The Ebro Delta (Spain)
Tucked away in the hinterland of three major cities (Barcelona, Valencia and Zaragoza), Ebro Delta Nature Park is a magnificent combination of stunning scenery and ecosystems. The Ebro River and Delta are Mother Nature's two key ingredients in making this area a prize gem in fishing and agriculture. Tourism has recently surfaced in the region, but the local people have made it a priority to keep the natural and traditional values alive forever.
Ebro river Delta. Part 2
▶FULL DOCUMENTARIES |
▶ Spanish video:
On The North-East coast of Spain, the Mediterranean Sea collects the waters of the river with the greatest volume of water in all the Iberian Peninsular, the River Ebro.
Year after year, thousands of tonnes of alluvial soil are transported by the river down to the estuary. Over the centuries, the sea has gradually lost ground and the original estuary has become a delta. Its privileged location, at the halfway point on the migratory routes of European birds and the diversity of its eco-systems have made it a real natural paradise for birds, a magical place halfway between the land and the sea.
70% of the bird species of Spain can be found in the Ebro Delta. The variety of its eco-systems means that you can find typical coastal species, riverbank species, lake birds and those that prefer terra firma. The most abundant are sea birds, but in the inland wetlands the queens are definitely the anatidae or duck family.
There are continuous visits to these waters throughout the year. Many flocks arrive from Northern Europe escaping from the harsh winter. Others have their breeding-grounds here, so they do not appear until spring.
This wealth of fauna would not be possible if the waters were not also full of life. This meeting of river and sea has given rise to a great diversity of habitats. The waters that are nearest to the river are fresh but as the coast becomes nearer the salt level rises. This variety is reflected in the fauna.
In the Delta it is possible to find typical river species, sea species and even some that have adapted to both mediums.
Of these there are two very rare species which in spite of their size are considered to be zoological treasures because of their uniqueness and their tiny population namely the Iberian toothcarp and the Spanish toothcarp. The only European colonies of these birds are in isolated parts of the South-East Spain.
The abundance of life in these waters has not gone unnoticed. The Encanyissada and Tancada lagoons have been National Hunting Reserves since 1966. The fish supplies have also been tapped from ancient times and brotherhoods of fishermen already existed in the 12th Century.
On the beaches, people catch donax clams, small molluscs that live in the sand and are very popular among the local people.
The inland fields of the Delta are fertile thanks to the mud that the Ebro has deposited over the centuries. On the coast however, the vegetation has to withstand a very high salt level, poor soil that does not hold water and an almost constant wind. These factors make them unsuitable for cultivation and this has been their salvation. The immense majority of untouched land in the Delta is on the coast.
The salt lagoons of the Ebro Delta are visited every year by a legendary bird. The ancient Egyptians believed it to be the phoenix, the creature that burnt itself to cinders only to arise from the ashes the next day. Its pink pigment, which was like fire or flama in Latin, gave rise to a legend and is the root of its name: the flamingo.
The only places in Europe where flamingos breed regularly are in the Camargue in France, and the Laguna de Fuente de Piedra in Spain. They are really just passing through the Ebro Delta, a place of rest at the halfway point on their migratory routes.

Delta del Ebro Natural Park: Desert Landscape near Barcelona (Tarragona)
Oh how I love the deserts, and even though this is not exactly one, the feeling that the place transmits is somewhat similar in some aspects: the solitude, silence, the dune landscapes. Delta del Ebro Natural Park near Tarragona south of Barcelona is a perfect place if you want to experience a little bit of that! In this video I am enjoying the short trip with my best friend Robert and my two dogs.
