TRAVEL GUIDES DIRECTORY: TARRAGONA SPAIN SALOU

EXCURSIONS

If you want to do away with the crowded beaches or the hectic town area of Salou, and you are yearning for a tranquil atmosphere with a purpose of trailing on a new adventure, you can head for the Ebro Delta National Park, Tarragona's very own extensive wet zone acknowledged worldwide for its ecological significance. The Ebro Delta Nature Park has a total surface area of 7,802 hectares of magnificent natural beauty.

The Delta is of international importance for its plant species and its fauna. This national park is said to be a birdwatcher's seventh heaven as it widely gives opportunities to see herons, ibis, kingfishers, flamingos, and other types of birds that make up the amazing 95 bird species that nestle in the territory.

Also known as Delta del Ebro, this natural park is the leading humid zone in Catalonia. It is the second most vital natural aquatic territory in Spain after the Doñana National Park.

The authentic Ebro Delta Nature Park was formed in 1983 coming from a judgment of the people of Catalonia. The park is now under the supervision of the environmental department of the Catalonian government.

It can be a tiring and scorching expedition to get there. However, a boat excursion traveling around the breezy river and the wetland region is a splendid technique of cooling down. The entrance to the park is free, and there are pathways provided for those who prefer hiking activities to see the park. There are also bicycles for rent, as well as extensive bicycle tour itineraries. Hotels and pension houses can be found in the areas surrounding the natural park.
