The Ebro Delta (320 km²) is one of the most important in the western Mediterranean and is the second largest aquatic habitat after the Camargue. Its configuration has evolved greatly, not only with the contribution of silt from the river but also thanks to the construction of two canals that, by draining the swamps, have allowed the colonization of land and the development of agriculture (rice, vegetables, fruit). Freshwater and sea fishing is also an important activity in the delta. Today, the completely flat landscape of the rice fields and the fields offers colors which vary according to the seasons: to the browns of the winter and the spring succeed the greens of the summer then the yellows of the autumn. In the middle of the fields, the characteristic silhouettes of the small white houses with one-sloped roofs stand out. The richness of the Delta's flora and fauna has been protected since 1983 by the creation of the Ebro Delta Natural Park under the aegis of the Generalitat. There are some 325 species of birds, flamingos, seagulls, ducks, herons, terns, moorhens, coots ... Enlarged in 1986, this park now includes lagoons, the mouth of the river, and the two points of Fangar, north, and Banya, south. Visitors cannot enter the park, but observation towers have been built and the beaches can be accessed. The two main towns of the Ebro Delta are Sant Carles de la Rapita and Deltebre, in the center of the delta
