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 great facilities for spotting birds, including the kingfisher and numerous migratory and wintering species.
