Winter plans in TAIGA Delta de l’Ebre: Discover the heart of the Delta

1. Recommendations for Winter in the Delta

Winter in the Ebro Delta is the ideal time to enjoy its impressive surroundings, with the Ebro River as the protagonist and the rice fields offering unparalleled landscapes. To make the most of your experience, here are some practical tips:

• Layered clothing: The Delta has mild days, but cool mornings and nights. Bring a thermal shirt, fleece, and windbreaker to be prepared for your bike rides or hikes through the rice fields.
• Waterproof Backpack: Ideal for carrying your camera, snacks and extra clothing while exploring the natural surroundings, visiting Kan Kensho or participating in the mussel and oyster tour.
• Sunscreen: Even though it's winter, the sun in the Delta can be intense, reflecting off the river and rice fields. Don't forget to protect yourself so you can enjoy yourself without worries.
• Binoculars: The Ebro Delta is a paradise for bird lovers, especially in winter, when many migratory species rest in the area. Bringing binoculars will ensure you don't miss a single detail.

2. Explore the Delta by bike

Rent a bike directly from TAIGA Delta de l'Ebre and explore the most iconic routes in the natural park. Ride through rice fields, along paths bordering lagoons such as La Tancada or L'Encanyissada, and feel the freedom of pedalling in an incomparable setting.

3. Experience the mussels and oysters tour

Immerse yourself in the gastronomic richness of the Delta with a boat tour that will take you to the mussel and oyster farms. Discover how these delicacies are grown and enjoy a tasting directly on site, accompanied by a good wine from the region.

4. Navigation on the Ebro River

Winter in the Delta doesn't mean you have to put aside water activities. Take advantage of the opportunity to navigate the Ebro River, either by kayak or on a quiet boat ride, and see the landscape from a different perspective.

Remember that sunset walks are especially magical in the Delta, with the sunlight reflecting off the water and creating moments that are hard to forget.

5. Visit Kan Kensho

Discover the essence of the Delta by visiting Kan Kensho, a regenerative agriculture project where you can learn more about local crops, taste organic products and learn about sustainability in the heart of the Delta.

Recommendation: Take advantage of the opportunity to take home some of their products, such as oils, vinegars or jams, a delicious souvenir of your visit.

6. Experience the tranquility of the Delta's beaches

Although it is not the bathing season, the beaches of the Delta, such as Riumar or El Trabucador, have a special appeal in winter. Their extensive sands and the absence of crowds make them the ideal place for long walks or simply enjoying the sound of the sea.

7. Discover the birds of the Delta

The Ebro Delta is one of the most important destinations for bird watching in Europe, and winter is the perfect season to enjoy this experience.
