A discreet 50-mile coastal stretch between Costa Dorada and Costa Blanca is recently making a name among tourists and locals alike. Terres de l'Ebre in Spain is a massive area of pristine beaches and magnificently authentic communities and sceneries.
The grand-sounding Terres de l'Ebre or the Land of the River Ebro is a two-hour drive south of Barcelona. The region pulls its name from the Ebro River. It begins in the Delta de l'Ebre and tails the Ebro River inland as it passes through the hilly terrain of Catalonia. Flanked by the wetlands and mountains, the place bargains plenty of activities for adventure travelers.
There are many concealed gems in Terres de l'Ebre, one of them is the Mirador de la Badia. It is a cafe bar on columns buoyed up on wooden stilts far out at sea in an extensive, superficial bay. The spot can be reached by tipping local boatman to take you there. This undiscovered Mirador is one of the highlights of Spain's elapsed region, according to Daily Mail.
There are no big cities in Terres de l'Ebre, amid Valencia and Tarragona. The lethargic river delta and somnolent old farming towns and villages might have appeared unattractive. The place's downside is that it has fewer facilities as compared to the adjacent north and south coasts. Moreover, English is not widely spoken in the place.
The Ebro Delta in Terres de l'Ebre is definitely an unspoiled destination for a stress-free cycling holiday. It is warmer and a little flat than Norfolk. You can cycle along discreet country roads to discover whitewashed villages with family-run diners. Moving upstream, you will find the elegant riverside village of Miravet. You will have a view of Salvador Dali's castle over a bend in the river.
To the west, the Terres de l'Ebre scenery looks more like a canvass, with grubby savannahs scattered with unambiguous vertical rocks and mountains. You can also trip to the snaking cobbles of Horta de St Joan where medieval stone curvatures and doorways full of potted geraniums can be found.
Terres de l'Ebre is only a 70-minute drive south of Barcelona airport. There were only half a dozen customers at the Mirador as a usual day. Soon, when more tourists discover the place, the locals will somehow miss the peace this present experience gives them.
