Here is a small sample of what we can offer you and what you can do and enjoy when you visit us. The Ebro Delta Natural Park is ideal for hiking, cycling, and bird watching. From Sant Carles de la Ràpita, you can reach it by car via the TV-3408 road, with parking available near viewpoints like La Tancada or El Garxal. Bicycles can be rented in Sant Carles to explore the park, which also has marked trails and bird watching points, especially during migrations.
The Trinidad Salt Flats, located at Punta de la Banya, are an iconic place to see traditional salt production. From Sant Carles de la Ràpita, take the TV-3401 road to Eucaliptus. There are guided tours that explain the production process and the ecological importance of the salt flats, and the landscape is spectacular, especially at sunset.
L’Encanyissada, the largest lagoon in the Delta, is excellent for bird watching. The nearby Casa de Fusta is an interpretation center about the Delta's ecosystem. From Sant Carles de la Ràpita, take the TV-3405 road. It offers exhibitions on wildlife and flora, viewpoints around the lagoon, and cycling and hiking routes.
Discovering the Ebro River by kayak is a unique experience. In Sant Carles de la Ràpita, several companies offer kayak rentals and guided tours. These excursions include explanations about the river's wildlife and flora, but you can also rent a kayak to explore the river at your own pace.
The gastronomy of our land is another great reason to visit us. Sant Carles de la Ràpita is known for its fresh fish, rice, garden produce, and other high-quality local products such as olive oils and wines from small wineries in nearby regions like Terra Alta, Montsant, and Priorat.
Definitely, Sant Carles de la Ràpita and the Ebro Delta offer a wide variety of ecotourism activities to enjoy nature sustainably. We believe that tourism is a necessary activity because it allows people from other places to know our land, Catalan culture, the uniqueness of the Ebro Lands, as well as our traditions and gastronomy. We support personalized tourism, which is what we promote in a small destination like ours, and we oppose mass tourism that is practiced in other places, where it is only seen as an economic activity.
Come explore this wonderful region and discover all it has to offer.
