A
weekend away to discover the
Natural Park of the Delta de l'Ebre, its coastline and its Iberian past: a route that includes a
boat trip in a gondola to visit the mussel farm in the Bay of Alfacs, and visits to
Amposta and the incredible sights at the
Iberian settlement of Moleta del Remei.
BAY OF ALFACSYou could start your day at
Sant Carles de la Ràpita where, from 12 noon until 2 p.m., you can take a trip in the
Bay of Alfacs in a gondola. This is one of the most important natural areas in Europe and it is located within the
Delta de l’Ebre Natural Park, a Biosphere Reserve. The trip includes
stopping at a mussel farm where you can learn everything you need to know about mussels and oysters and afterwards you can enjoy a tasting of them accompanied by a glass of cava.
AMPOSTAAfter lunch you could head for
Amposta, where you can explore the town, its history and its surroundings. Visit the
museum of the Terres de l’Ebre and stroll through the town's charming streets. You could spend the night in
Alcanar, just 20 minutes by car from Amposta.
MOLETA DEL REMEI IBERIAN SETTLEMENTAfter breakfast on Sunday morning you could visit the
Moleta del Remei Iberian settlement, where you can stroll amongst thousand year-old olive trees and climb the little hill which affords magnificent views of the surroundings. Be sure not to miss the
reconstruction of an Iberian house and the ovens at the entrance to the settlement. The house has been faithfully and accurately rebuilt and provides a marvellous opportunity to see what it was like to live in an
Iberian home just as it was in former times. Afterwards, you can enjoy a good lunch from amongst the
typical dishes of the region in
Les Cases d’Alcanar.
PUNTA DE LA BANYAYou could spend the afternoon taking a stroll along the coastline facing
Punta de la Banya, between Les Cases d’Alcanar and Montsià Mar.
The order of visits on Sundays changes from
July to September: the first visit is to Punta de la Banya and in the afternoon the second visit is to the Moleta del Remei Iberian settlement.
