One of the few villages set in the Delta del Ebro proper Poblenou was created in the 1950s as a home for the rice farmers and fishermen. With its low-rise white washed buildings and its spectacular setting between the Laguna and the sea, the town has a real holiday feel about it and makes a perfect base to discover the delta and the lands of the lower Ebro river.
Particularly popular with birdwatchers, the local area is perfect for cycling or walking along the tracks between the rice paddies and the beaches on the mediterranean shore close by are really quite unspoilt.
Nearby Tortosa, guarding the entry to the mighty Ebro river has a historical heritage dating back to Roman times and beyond and the mountains of the Terra Alta, within easy reach, are also spectacular.
The gastronomy of the area – combining delta rice with local seafood and produce direct from the mountains – is simply delicious and the local wines certainly don't disappoint!
