Location

Spain's longest river, the mighty Ebro, discharges into the Mediterranean Sea in the North Eastern corner of Spain, approximately 200 kilometers to the south of Barcelona. The villa where you will stay is based in a countryside location, close to the coastal resort of L'Ampolla, on the northern side of the delta. This position acts as a perfect base from which to explore the delta whilst offering easy access to the resort amenities of L'Ampolla.

The sheer variety of different environments within the Ebro Delta is the key to why it attracts such a diversity of bird life. The natural landscape is comprised of saltmarshes, sand dunes, coastal lagoons, riverside woodland, and beaches, creating a mecca for both resident breeders and migratory transients alike.

The fertile, sedimentary deposits of the Ebro have created a unique location suited to the cultivation of rice, which has been grown here since 1860. Today, over 45 million kilograms are produced annually in a cultivated area of over 22,000 hectares. Fourteen different varieties of rice are produced by a cooperative comprising about 2000 members.

Due to its international importance as an area of biodiversity, 320 square kilometers of the delta was declared a natural park by the Catalonian government in 1983. Over 300 different species of birds have been observed in the area. The autumn and winter periods are regarded as the best time of the year for bird watching holidays, in order to see an abundance of species that seek refuge in the delta during the colder months.
