Singular Delta

Singular Delta is a journey of unique experiences across the Ebro River Delta and the Ebro Lands. You will visit the most iconic natural and cultural places of this Biosphere Reserve, either with our guides or by yourselves.

You will discover the unique landscapes of the Delta and the culture of the Ebro Lands. A proximity trip experience with lodging at a family hotel in a fishing town on the very entrance to the Delta: the “Hotel Flamingo” at L´Ampolla.

This trip is a slow travel experience so you may discover emblematic places, taste the local seafood right by the sea, dine in a restaurant awarded with a Michelin Star, watch birds and even wear a beekeper’s outfit. A relaxed trip, ideal for those who love cultural tourism and gastronomy as well as for those who wish to learn about the historic and artistic heritage of the surrounding lands.

A 3-day experience that may be guided or self-guided. We recommend the guided tour.
