In 1780 King Charles III devised a Renaissance-inspired city project, just above the fishing village of la Ràpita. This project would later become an entire Marine Village of the Terres de l'Ebre. It is the most representative building of La Ràpita from that time. This is the Glorieta, an elegant neoclassical viewpoint in the form of a rotunda built in the 18th century. La Ràpita has one of the busiest fishing ports in all of Catalonia. Its seafood cuisine has two outstanding protagonists: prawns and mantis shrimp. Served in seafood rice with designation of origin from the Delta, they are a delight that you can taste in any of its restaurants. This fishing village is located in Alfacs Bay, a sea area of great beauty that offers treasures such as the Trabucador beach. This stands out for its peculiar shape: an extension of sand 6.5 kilometres long that goes into the sea as far as Punta de la Banya. Surrounded by wild and lonely beaches, and very close to the Delta de l'Ebre Natural Park, La Ràpita is a paradise for all kinds of nautical activities, such as the mussel route, a 2-hour tour on board a golondrina that runs along the Alfacs Bay to the Musclarium. Once there you discover how the mussels and oysters of the Delta de l'Ebre are cultivated by an aquaculturist. These routes end with a taste of these molluscs accompanied by a glass of wine or cava. To enjoy the great views that La Ràpita has to offer, it is best to go up to the viewpoint of La Guardiola, an old watchtower located at the top of the Torreta mountain. From here you can see the whole town, the Delta de l'Ebre and the Alfacs bay.
