Ebro Delta

The Ebro Delta is a paradise for nature lovers and offers a unique opportunity to experience Catalonia's natural beauty and biodiversity. Our two featured centres are Riumar & L’ampolla.

Formed by the sediment carried downstream by the Ebro River, the Ebro Delta is recognized as a Natural Park. Its unique ecosystem provides a habitat for a wide variety of bird species, including flamingos, herons, ducks, and other migratory birds.

Sea fishing in the Mediterranean is exceptional for Bluefin Tuna using baits, spinning and trolling with the best time of year being mid-March to beginning of June and mid-July to mid-November. Bluefish are caught year round and Little Tunnys up to 18 kilos can be caught mid April to late October. A Mediterranean variant of the common mackerel also provides top sport from mid-April to mid-November. You will also find Sea Bass from mid-April to mid-October and Mahi Mahi (Dorado) from mid-August to mid-November.

The River Ebro offers phenomenal fishing. Plenty of food and excellent living conditions have ensured that there are large numbers of big catfish. You can also fish for Zander and Barbel.
