One of the most beautiful phenomena that we can see in the Ebro Delta at sunset is the column of sun, which is produced by the reflection of sunlight hitting the surface of the water, as can be seen in this photograph in Las Fotos de los Lectores de La Vanguardia.
The water undulated by the waves creates a simile with a large number of water mirrors with different orientations, which produce a multitude of reflected images.
Each small wave provides a reflection of the sun, as can be seen in the image. The closer to the horizon, the reflections of the sun on the water seem to be closer together.
Las Terres de l’Ebre forms a territory where one of the largest rivers in the Iberian Peninsula, the Ebro, creates the great delta, at the same time that the mountains of the Els Ports Natural Park meet the Mediterranean Sea.
The Ebro Delta attracts tourism for its beaches, its landscape of rice fields and for being the habitat of thousands of birds, such as flamingos and other migratory and native species, which can be observed. In addition, it is an area rich in gastronomy, ideal for travelers who like tranquility and relaxation in nature.
The Ebro Delta Natural Park houses several protected areas with restricted access. One of them is Punta del Fangar, a space with peculiar dunes that extend along six kilometers along the sea.
Altogether, the Ebro Delta is home to 316 common bird species and some 360 ??registered birds out of the 600 existing in Europe. Among the most colorful in the Ebro Delta wetland are the flamingos, common in rice fields, a very common crop in this area.
