Circular route that connects Deltebre from the Ecomuseum and the port of Illa de Mar, in the Fangar Bay. After leaving the Deltebre cemetery, the route follows the old route of one of the branches of the Ebro River, the so-called Fondo River, still visible today through a winding route in the middle of the regular plots. The Port of Illa de Mar presents the human landscape of the Fangar Bay and its mullet farms and professional shellfish gatherers. Bordering the Fangar Bay, you reach the small port of Rompent, and just after that the route returns to Deltebre between rice fields that around the Mas de la Canyadora occupy the old spaces of the Secanella salt pans, as indicated by the lowest level that these rice fields occupy.

The Ebro Delta is the largest aquatic habitat in Catalonia. The river, the sea, bays, beaches, dunes, salt marshes, riverside forests, ponds and gullies form its natural landscape which, with the rice fields and the vegetable garden, is home to a rich biodiversity. The uniqueness of the Delta is expressed in its physical and natural reality and also in its particular culture, heritage, history and traditions. The Delta is an inspiring example of how we can maintain a balance between sustainability and development to continue enjoying a fair and acceptable lifestyle.
