Tortosa is the Ebro Delta a perfect cohabitation space between man and nature; a unique, remarkable and incomparable setting, product of the erosion, transport and sedimentation processes of the River Ebro, which have prevailed over coastal erosion. As well as its unmistakable landscapes and rice fields, you can enjoy its ornithological richness and go bird watching, travel along the delta by bicycle and practise kitesurfing and water activities such as kayaking and scuba diving.
