Ebro Delta: the Mediterranean’s wild side

If you’re searching for endless hotel promenades, this isn’t the place. The Ebro Delta is pure nature: endless horizons, cinematic sunsets and a peaceful rhythm that instantly slows everything down.

Here are some of the secrets locals keep to themselves:

• Mirages at Punta del Fangar: walk across the white dunes towards the iconic lighthouse and you’ll feel as if you’ve landed in the Sahara… until the Mediterranean breeze reminds you where you are. A dream setting for photographers and film lovers.

• The pink spectacle: flamingos rule the Delta all year round. Local tip: head to the Tancada Lagoon at sunset and watch the orange sky reflect over the water alongside hundreds of pink birds.

• Dining on the water: hop on a boat to the mussel farms in the middle of the bay and taste oysters and mussels fresh from the sea, perfectly paired with local Terra Alta wine.

• A landscape that changes with the seasons: the Delta never looks the same twice. In winter, the rice fields become giant mirrors of water; in summer, an endless green sea; and by August, a golden paradise.

• Buda Island: a hidden natural treasure where wild horses still roam freely. One of the most magical and untouched corners of the Delta.
