Montsià

Montsià is an administrative region in Tarragona Province made up of several municipalities spread across farmland and coastal areas. The territory stretches between the Mediterranean and the Ebro Delta with a mix of fields, wetlands, and river plains.

The region took its current form in 1987 during Catalonia's administrative reorganization. Its identity as a community goes back centuries through local markets and connection to the land.

Each village here has its own traditions centered on olive harvesting and rice farming celebrations. These agricultural customs remain part of how communities gather and mark the seasons today.

The region connects to larger cities through roads and Amposta serves as the administrative center. Getting around by car makes it easier to explore the different villages and countryside.

The landscape joins river deltas with natural marshes where rare water birds breed. This ecosystem is one of the few surviving delta areas on the western Mediterranean.
