Delta del Ebro and its History 

The greatest growth in this area was constituted during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries due to the great deforestation of the Ebro basin. This was due to the need to build ships for the next discovery of America. From this, the mouth has varied from position to configuration known today. Its main lobe, on the Island of Buda, was formed by the regression of the other two lobes between the years 1750 and 1850. Therefore, it is not believed that there may be the formation of any other island. Its rounded profile on the front of the delta is due to the action of the sea and the system closed to the deteriorated sand on the beaches of the Delta, this is transported thanks to the sea currents and settles at the tips of the Fangar and the Horn. 

Moli de Rafelet 

The Moli de Rafelet is located in a town within the Ebro Delta a few kilometers from the sea, in a small town called Deltebre in La Cava, surrounded by wildlife, countryside and a natural park where the island of Buddha is located. The Rice Mill Museum is inside an 1850 mansion just arranged inside, only the wooden beams of the stone ceiling have been reinforced. The mill was founded by Mr. Rafael Margalef Bertomeu, in 1935, with the characteristic of homegrown.

Platja del Trabucador 

Located in the southern part of the Ebro Delta. Very dear to Naturism lovers. It is a sandbar of about 6.5 km with a width of about 50 m with sea side and side nestled in the natural reserve of the Delta del Ebro Natural Park. It leads to the Salinas de la Trinitat and the peninsula of Punta de la Banya, has prohibited access areas for bird protection.

Bahia dels Alfacs 

This was created naturally in the sixteenth century thanks to the alluvial contributions of the Ebro River. With the first sandbar known as l’Alfac (alfaque), which ended up connecting through the Trabucador bar with a New tongue of land known as Banya, this largest natural bay in Europe was formed.
