The erosion and sedimentation of centuries and millennia has forged, thanks to the river Ebro, a spit of land of more than 20 km of the Mediterranean, the Ebro Delta, in the province of Tarragona. The delta extends over more than 320 square km, and since 1983 is it a space protected by the Generalitat de Catalunya.

The landscape of the delta has a strong personality. The totally flat lands give it a particular aspect. The extensive rice fields, changing according to the seasons (earthy in winter, flooded with water in spring and green in the summer), dominate the face of the delta. In its coastal parts we find one of the most attractive landscapes of the Mediterranean. In this vast territory you have all kinds of locations for your next audiovisual project.

It is composed of a hundred single-family houses of rural type, inhabited by about 250 people, with good services and cheerful streets flanked by leafy palms, a small town type “colonial”, all white. Its resources are agriculture, fishing and tourist activity. A small town that can be ideal for a photographic shooting or an audiovisual production of the quietest.

This municipality is located in the middle of the Ebro delta, it has 3.300 inhabitants. With 61 square km, its municipal area borders on the north with the Ebro, on the south with an old arm of the river (the current irrigation channel of the Riet) and on the east with the Mediterranean. It offers different and varied locations in a small space for your audiovisual projects.

It has a length of 250 meters, save the waters of the Ebro and connects Sant Jaume d’Enveja and Deltebre, the two main population centers of the delta. Until 2010 both towns were only linked by a ferry. A fantastic piece of engineering that can be an ideal background for the audiovisual project you are working on.

This town (91.05 km², 10.180 inhabitants) is the true heart of the delta. Here you can navigate on the Ebro, known for its beaches and fishing possibilities. From the Mirador Moli dels Mirons you will get a splendid panoramic view of the Ebro. You can see that you have many options to start here your audiovisual production or your photographic shooting.

Sant Carles de la Ràpita is a city located on the Catalan coast, exactly 150 km south-west of Barcelona. Its location on the south bank of the Ebro river delta makes it an ideal starting point to visit the delta and its surroundings. The town is protected from the sea by the National Park of “Punta de la Banya”. Thanks to its shape a spectacular protected bay has been created, ideal for hiking and navigation in protected waters.
