This is just a brief summary of the great tourist potential that Terres de l'Ebre offer, the group of four regions situated in the south of Catalonia. All this diversity of spaces allows every visitor, away from agglomerations and conventional tourist tours, to choose the option which best suits their needs.
Terres de l'Ebre are situated between the Mediterranean Sea and the most southern buttresses of the pre-coastal Catalan Mountain Range. Moreover, the quiet waters of the Ebro river - the most plentiful river in the Iberian Peninsula - model this territory and create meanders which quietly lead it along the Delta's plain until reaching the sea.
Precisely, the final part of the Ebro river has witnessed the birth of several cultures, since as a strategic site for commerce - for the entrance of products from the sea towards the most inland lands of the peninsula - has conquered all kinds of civilizations: the Iberians, the Romans, the Arabs, the Jewish and the Christians have set up some of the most important settings. The remains of these cultures have left an important legacy, which is notorious as far as their popular traditions, their monuments, their language and also the people's personality are concerned.
All this cultural and natural legacy enriches the visit to The Terres de l'Ebre, and it also allows the tourist to know the details which are hidden in the puzzle that the four most southern regions of Catalonia draw.
