Situated at the southern end of the Costa Dorada L'Ampolla is a bustling Spanish seaside town - a far cry from the commercialised resorts of the more famous Costas. Just 2kms inland from the town, in the heart of the countryside is the tranquil L'Ampolla Resort. Already the site of a small twenty room hotel, with a pool, bar and restaurant, the surrounding land is being landscaped to create just 67 holiday home plots.

With such a small number of plots the site will have an exclusive feel. You'll be able to while away the hours relaxing by the pool or enjoying a drink on the terrace. The restaurant serves excellent local produce and in the town you will be able to enjoy some of the finest paëlla in Spain - not surprising given that rice is on of the principal crops of the nearby Ebro Delta. The Delta itself is a unique wetland area, ideal for walking and birdwatching.

Access to l'Ampolla is excellent with Reus airport just 70kms away and Barcelona 160kms. Rail links are good as well with the nearest station being just 2kms away.

Plots on this excellent site are available and are sure to be snapped up quickly, so call us now to arrange a viewing trip.

Parque Natural Delta del Ebro 
The Ebro delta is one of the largest wetland areas (320 km²) in the western Mediterranean region. The Ebro delta has grown rapidly—the historical rate of growth of the delta is demonstrated by the town of Amposta. This town was a seaport in the4th century, and is now located well inland from the current Ebro river mouth. The rounded form of the delta attests to the balance between sediment deposition by the Ebro and removal of this material by wave erosion.

The modern delta is in intensive agricultural use forrice, fruit and vegetables. The Ebro delta also hosts numerous beaches, marshes and salt pans that provide habitat for over 300 species of birds. A large part of the delta was designated as the Ebro Delta Natural Park in 1983. A network of canals and irrigation ditches constructed by both agricultural and conservation groups are helping to maintain the ecologic and economic resources of the Ebro Delta.

Birds of the Ebro Delta

The Ebro Delta attracts millions of birds throughout the year and is well worth a visit at any time of the year.

Breeding birds and their offspring dominate the area during the summer months, offering close views of parental behaviour as thousands of shorebirds, gulls and terns raise their chicks in the relatively open areas. One of the few breeding colonies of Greater Flamingo in the Mediterranean region is situated in the southern part of the delta, as is the World’s most important breeding colony of the rare and beautiful Audouin’s Gull. Big colonies of Common, Sandwich and Gull-billed Terns are found mainly in the northern part of the delta. The delta also holds large breeding populations of Squacco Heron, Purple Heron, Night Heron, Little Bittern, Little Egret, Cattle Egret, Red-crested Pochard, Purple Gallinule, Slender-billed Gull, Yellow-legged Gull, Little Tern, Whiskered Tern, Collared Pratincole, Avocet, Kentish Plover and Black-winged Stilt. Great White Egret and Glossy Ibis are also breeding here, although in lower numbers. The passerines of the delta are less conspicuous, but always present. Apart from the more common species - such as Reed Warbler, Great Reed Warbler, Cetti’s Warbler and Zitting Cisticola - Savi’s Warbler, Moustached Warbler and Reed Bunting (ssp. witherbyi) can also be found in the extensive reed beds, whereas several species of larks can be found in the more open areas. Crested Lark, Lesser and Greater Short-toed Lark and Skylark are commonly encountered here. In the riparian woodlands species like Penduline Tit and Scops Owl are often found.

The winter months are partly dominated by a whole new set of birds, although several of the breeding birds remain in the delta throughout the winter. The area holds big wintering populations of Mediterranean Gull, Lesser Black-backed Gull, Starling and Spotless Starling. Other interesting winter visitors include Great Cormorant, Bittern, Marsh Harrier, Osprey, Booted Eagle, Merlin, Lapwing, Short-eared Owl, Water Pipit, Richard’s Pipit (rare), Bluethroat, Black Redstart, and several species of ducks and shorebirds. Yelkouan and Balearic Shearwaters can be seen from the coast throughout the winter, and some Arctic Divers usually remain close to the coast.
