1. A paradise for bird lovers

The Ebro Delta is one of Europe's most important wetlands and a favorite destination for birdwatchers. Its richness is due to its strategic location, on one of the main migratory routes between Africa and Northern Europe. This means that, depending on the time of year, you can observe a variety of species, from flamingos to ospreys.

Pink flamingo (Phoenicopterus roseus): The star of the Delta, with thousands of specimens in the area throughout the year.
Squacco Heron (Ardeola ralloides): A solitary bird that hides among the reed beds.
Osprey (Pandion haliaetus): A bird of prey that can be seen flying over the lagoons in search of food.
Sandwich Tern (Thalasseus sandvicensis): Easy to recognize by its black beak with a yellow tip.
Glossy Ibis (Plegadis falcinellus): Dark in colour and with a very characteristic curved beak.
Eurasian Bittern (Botaurus stellaris): One of the most difficult species to see, as it camouflages itself perfectly among the reeds.
