Ebro

The Ebro is the river that gives the Iberian Peninsula its name. The silt carried down by the Ebro and its many tributaries gradually formed the Ebro Delta over thousands of years.

The lower reaches of this river witnessed the coming and going of civilisations from Iberian and Roman times right up to the Middle Ages, providing an important means of communication and transport up to the mid-19th century.

Passing through Amposta, the Ebro offers the opportunity to enjoy a range of activities. Boat trips and water sports are offered from the river port in the city down to the river mouth and from Amposta to Tortosa and Miravet. Near the quay are Amposta Tourist Information Office and a service area (toilets and showers).

 

The Ebro Delta is the largest wetlands in Catalonia and the main aquatic habitat in the western Mediterranean after the Camargue regional nature park in France and the second-largest in Spain after Doñana National Park. The Delta plays an important biological role, its interior containing large rice and vegetable fields and fruit orchards, whilst the coast is formed by one of the most attractive lakeland landscapes in the Mediterranean, with large, biologically rich lagoons. Finally, the Delta periphery is made up of large salt marshes and long, unspoilt sandy beaches with dunes.

Due to the Delta's ecological importance, many parts of it were declared a natural park in 1983. The Natural Park zones in Amposta are: Encanyissada, Tancada and Platjola lagoons, the Baltasar springs and Sapinya Island.
