Ebro Delta

The Ebro Delta is the largest wetland in Catalonia, covering 320 km2. It is one of the most important aquatic habitats in the Western Mediterranean.

EBRO DELTA

NATURAL PARK

The Ebro Delta is the largest wetland in Catalonia and one of the most important in the Western Mediterranean. It is comprised of two areas separated by the Ebro River with different towns along its banks which have made the conservation of the aquatic habitat and human development possible. This is the reason why the Generalitat of Catalonia approved the creation of the Ebro Delta Natural Park in 1983.
