La Ràpita, Coastal municipality in Montsià region, Spain.
La Ràpita is a harbor town at the southwestern edge of the Ebro Delta, featuring two marinas and the saltwater lagoon of Port dels Alfacs. The settlement sits between the el Trabucador isthmus and la Banya peninsula, which form a natural sheltered basin.
The settlement was founded in the 18th century under King Charles III as a strategic port for colonial commerce. This royal creation shaped the original town layout with neoclassical design elements.
Fishing remains woven into daily life here, with seafood dominating local tables and markets in ways visitors can directly observe. The connection between the working harbor and regional cooking is impossible to miss when walking through the town.
The town has multiple beaches where visitors can try water activities such as sailing and diving in Mediterranean waters. It's helpful to distinguish between the calm lagoon areas and the open sea coast, as each suits different activities.
The town sits on one of Europe's largest natural sheltered harbors, created by its geographic position. This sheltered formation makes the waters here exceptionally calm and protected regardless of conditions in the open sea.
