Sunset Bay Charters with Ebre Charter in La Ràpita

The Ebro Delta in Tarragona, Spain, ranks among Europe’s most important wetlands, where water and land weave into an intricate mosaic of marshes, lagoons, and sandy shores. At the heart of this landscape lies La Ràpita, a quaint coastal town serving as the gateway to the intriguing Bay of Alfaques. Here, Ebre Charter offers a distinctive, comfortable boat excursion that captures the delta’s raw natural beauty and storied heritage.

Boarding their cozy vessel, travelers glide across calm waters to the tranquil Bay of Alfaques, a haven for birdwatchers and nature lovers alike.

The boat’s gentle movement reveals panoramic views of the surrounding reed beds and distant rice fields, framing the fragile ecosystem.

One of the trip’s highlights is a visit to the Torre de San Juan, an old watchtower perched along the delta’s shoreline. This historic structure offers a glimpse into the region’s defensive past, standing watch since the 16th century against coastal threats. As the journey unfolds, guests are treated to light snacks and refreshing drinks, settling in for a truly memorable finale – witnessing the sun drop below the horizon, casting vivid shades of orange and pink across open water.
