The Rice Festivals: Planting and Harvesting
Other Traditional Festivals of the Delta

1. The Rice Festivals: Planting and Harvesting

Rice is the lifeblood of the Delta, and its cultivation has marked the rhythm of life in this region for centuries. To honor this tradition, two key events are held each year:

The Plantada Festival (June)

During this celebration, farmers dress in traditional attire and recreate the process of planting rice manually, as it was done in ancient times. It's a unique spectacle in which visitors can participate, entering the flooded fields and experiencing the work of Delta farmers.

The Harvest Festival (September)

When harvest time arrives, the Harvest Festival is held, where people demonstrate how rice was harvested before the advent of mechanization. There are also tastings of typical dishes made with Delta rice.
Where: Amposta, Deltebre and Sant Jaume d'Enveja
Free admission
