The seafaring treasure of Ametlla de Mar L’Ametlla de Mar is one of the small maritime jewels of the Terres de l'Ebre, very close to the Delta. Fishing and water sports are two of its main draws. This seafaring village is a sports tourism destination and many activities and trips related to sailing and diving are organised here. The reason is quite simple: its 16 km of coastline full of virgin beaches and peaceful coves such as Calafató, Lo Ribellet and Vidre. If you dive into its crystalline waters, you will discover a marine universe of underwater meadows of posidonia and even a treasure. These are the remains of ships sunk during the First World War in the depths of the Gulf of Sant Jordi. You can also try a unique experience: swim amongst the giant tuna and feed them, an outing organised by several companies in the area in the summer. The sustainable marine ecosystem of L'Ampolla Considered the gateway to the Ebro delta, L'Ampolla is located at the southern end of the Gulf of Sant Jordi. It is a place where the dunes, fine sand beaches and shallow waters come together. The town has been promoting responsible tourism for years with the aim of preserving its natural environment. Activities such as bird watching, nature trails along the Delta coast, doing water and nautical sports such as scuba diving and horseback riding by the sea are just some of the options you will find there. A good way to enjoy the town's environs is to walk GR-92 Mediterranean trail, dotted with cliff-faced beaches, coves and fishing villages. Savour the two culinary treasures of l'Ampolla: the rice farmed in the Ebro delta, with protected designation of origin status, and its oysters. This mollusc has a unique flavour thanks to the properties brought to it by the concentration of nutrients from the mixture of salt water from the Mediterranean Sea and fresh water from the Ebro River. The natural fishing paradise of La Ràpita La Ràpita is located in Alfacs Bay, a marine area that conceals treasures such as Trabucador Beach. It has a 6.5 km sand spit that goes into the sea as far as Punta de la Banya. Surrounded by wild, lonely beaches, and very close to the Delta de l'Ebre Natural Park, it is a paradise for all kinds of water activities, such as the mussel shoals route, where you can discover how mussels and oysters are raised of the Ebro delta and taste them for yourself. TheLa Ràpita Delta de l'Ebre Marine Resort organises trips like these, in addition to other activities related to the sea. This fishing village has one of the busiest fishing ports in all of Catalonia. Its seafood cuisine has two outstanding protagonists: prawns and galeras, a type of mantis shrimp. Served in seafood rice with designation of origin from the Delta, they are a delight that you can sample in any of its restaurants. Les Cases d’Alcanar, recalling the Iberians by the sea The fishing village of Les Cases d’Alcanar is closely linked to the origins of the Terres de l'Ebre region. The population grew around an old watchtower, which defended the population from pirate attacks. Come to the town's port to savour the area’s seafood cuisine based on galeres (mantis shrimp) and also take the opportunity to see the fish auction at 5 p.m. at the Confraria de Pescadors Sant Pere. The coastline of Les Cases d'Alcanar is ideal for cycle tours. If you head in a southerly direction, you find bunkers, underground shelters and two machine gun nests, one of the most complete sets in Catalonia. Another recommended visit is the mouth of the Sénia river, an area of natural interest with a lagoon that is home to a great diversity of flora and fauna. Enjoy the Terres de l’Ebre!
