National Parks are environmental areas which enjoy special protection due to their biological or scenic characteristics. During your stay in Terres de l'Ebre, you will be able to enjoy two areas which have been recognized with distinctive protection: the Ebre Delta and Els Ports Massif.

The Ebre Delta National Park is situated near the mouth of the Ebre River, the largest, in terms of volume, on the Iberian Peninsula. Along its 320 Km2 you will discover dunes, salt works, lagoons, more than 350 species of birds and an immense alluvial plain, which is the main humid area in Catalonia and one of the most important in the Mediterranean basin.

However, if you prefer the mountains, about forty kilometres away from the Ebre Delta you will find Els Ports National Park, which is a calcareous massif and home to a large number of animal and plant species. In fact there are more than a thousand plant species, making it the perfect destination for botanists and nature lovers. As for fauna, Els Ports massif is an ideal habitat for wild goats (Hispanic Capra Pyrenaica), so much so that this animal has become the symbol of this natural area.
