El Poble Nou del Delta

El Poble Nou del Delta is a settlement in the Ebro Delta with two-story white houses arranged around inner courtyards. The streets are planted with palm trees and lead to a church with a distinctive bell tower at the center.

The settlement was founded in 1951 by the National Institute of Colonization and provided housing and farmland to 97 families. These families transformed swamps into productive rice fields with the goal of developing the land into their own property.

The community keeps its ties to rice farming through local celebrations and customs that reflect their agricultural roots in the Ebro Delta. Visitors can see these living traditions in how the fields are worked and how residents maintain their connection to the land.

The settlement sits at sea level in Amposta municipality and offers accommodation options nearby. Visitors can access walking and cycling paths of the natural park directly from here.

Residents originally received saline land and a family house, which they could pay off over 50 years through annual fees. This arrangement allowed families to gradually gain ownership of the land.
