Terres de l'Ebre

Terres de l'Ebre is a territorial region in Tarragona Province comprising four counties: Baix Ebre, Montsià, Ribera d'Ebre, and Terra Alta. These counties span more than half of the province's area, stretching from river lowlands to mountain terrain.

The region was shaped by various ancient civilizations whose remains are visible at sites like Tortosa, Horta de San Juan, and Miravet. These archaeological traces tell the story of long-standing human settlement across the territory.

Rice farming and olive oil production shape the daily routines and food culture of the local communities. Each county displays its own culinary traditions that visitors can experience in restaurants and at farmers' markets throughout the area.

The area offers hiking and cycling routes, birdwatching vantage points, and water sports along the Ebro River for outdoor enthusiasts. Visitors can find accommodations and restaurants serving local dishes throughout the region.

The region received UNESCO Biosphere Reserve designation in 2013, acknowledging the diversity of its natural environments. This protected area combines river deltas, wetlands, and mountain landscapes in an unusual geographic arrangement.
