Cheers! Salut!
Summer’s here and it’s time for sun, sea and sand – and maybe some sangria too.
You can find all of these in the Terres de l’Ebre and much more. The Terres de l’Ebre
cover the most southerly point of Catalunya and reach from the tip of the Ebro Delta on the
Mediterranean, right up into the mountains, with the great river Ebro running through their
centre. There are big towns, isolated villages, expansive beaches and hidden
coves. The local people are enormously proud of their land, their cuisine and
their heritage, and our aim is to give you an insight into the best of all of this.
Visit our website and social media channels too – we’ve got lots more
information online.
The production of this magazine is only possible thanks
to the support of the local businesses who have
advertised with us. We think that they offer a
great range of services, so do take a look and
we hope you find something you like.
Have a great summer!
