El Poble Nou del Delta

The settlement features white two-story houses with interior patios, landscaped streets lined with palm trees, and a central church with a prominent bell tower.

Founded in 1951 by the National Institute of Colonization, the settlement provided housing and farmland to 97 families who transformed wetlands into productive rice fields.

The community maintains strong connections to rice cultivation traditions, with local festivities and practices reflecting their agricultural heritage within the Ebro Delta ecosystem.

Located at sea level in Amposta municipality, the settlement provides accommodation options and direct access to the natural park's walking and cycling paths.

Residents received 15 days' worth of saline land, a family house, and a garden plot, paying annual fees for 50 years to gain property ownership.
