Terra Alta Mediterranean mosaic
Beyond the steep mountain ranges that border the Terra Alta (Els Ports, Pàndols and Cavalls), the landscape of this region is predominantly agricultural, mainly vineyards, olive and almond trees, alongside managed forests, with a rich cultural heritage of dry stone architecture. This landscape mosaic, dotted with drystone cabins and terraces, is the ideal habitat for […]
Serra de Llaberia
With its rugged terrain, steep ravines and vertiginous escarpments, and wild Mediterranean landscape, the remote Sierra de Llaberia is difficult to access and little visited. This tranquil setting makes the sierra an important breeding area for rock birds of great interest. It also contains remarkable karstic formations such as rock shelters, caves, chasms and natural […]
Els Ports Natural Park: La Franqueta
From Horta de Sant Joan, an asphalted road (regulated at peak times) takes us into the Els Ports Natural Park, past the unmistakable silhouette of the Roques de Benet. Birds of prey can be seen flying over the cliffs, and birds of agricultural habitats can be seen in the fields. From the La Franqueta picnic […]
Els Ports Natural Pak: Caro
At 1,441 m, El Caro is the highest peak in Terres de l’Ebre and the highest point in the great massif of Els Ports. It can be climbed on foot and by car, passing through agricultural, forest and rocky habitats where a wide variety of birds can be observed. There are views of the Ebro […]
Sebes Nature Reserve
There are unique treasures to be found along the length of the River Ebro. One of the least known, perhaps because of the greater fame of the Ebro Delta, is the Sebes and Flix Meander Wildlife Nature Reserve. This natural oasis contains a great diversity of habitats (wetlands, reedbeds, riverside forests, river islands, etc.) with […]
Serres de Cardó – Boix
The Cardó and Boix mountain ranges contain spectacular cliffs, rock needles and escarpments, largely covered by forest including ancient trees like yew. This area is particularly attractive for migrating birds of prey, which share the airspace with various species of eagles and Mediterranean species.
Secans del Montsià drylands
These drylands are in fact a mosaic landscape of almond and olive groves (some of which are thousands of years old) on the remains of an ancient steppe plain. Typical dryland birds can be spotted here, as well as birds of prey due to an abundance of prey such as rabbits.
Audouin’s gull
Native to the Mediterranean, with a growing population in recent decades.
El Delta de l’Ebre Natural Park: La Tancada and Els Alfacs bay
La Tancada lagoon is the most saline in the Delta, with a very well-conserved salt marsh where flamingos are often seen. Close by, the Trabucador sandbar and beach are the access point to the large Els Alfacs bay and the Punta de la Banya peninsula, a real paradise (with restricted access) where countless birds nest […]
El Delta de l’Ebre Natural Park: L’Encanyissada, Migjorn and Alfacada
To the south of the Delta we find the Encanyissada lagoon, the largest in the Natural Park. Heading towards the beaches we find the Alfacada lagoon and the Migjorn River, a former mouth of the Ebro that creates a natural barrier between the rice fields and the Buda island.
