Circular route starting from the hermitage of l’Aldea, passing through the towns located on the northern edge of the Ebro Delta, such as the Lligallo del Gànguil, the Lligallo del Roig, Camarles and l’Ampolla, following the old path of the Via Augusta. Notable features include the horticultural area between l’Aldea and the Lligallos, the Pinets, the watchtowers of Granadella and Camarles, and the Roquer, the old elevated coastline over the Delta. The route reaches Arenal Beach and the Bassa de les Olles, where spectacular wildlife viewpoints can be visited. After the Goleró, the route returns along the Sanitària or Mare canal via a long asphalt track between rice fields and farmhouses. At the hermitage of l’Aldea, visitors can explore the watchtower interpretation center.

The Ebro Delta is the largest aquatic habitat in Catalonia. The river, the sea, bays, beaches, dunes, marshes, riparian forests, ponds, and lagoons form its natural landscape, which, together with the rice fields and orchards, supports a rich biodiversity. The uniqueness of the Delta is expressed in its physical and natural reality, as well as its distinctive culture, heritage, history, and traditions. The Delta serves as an inspiring example of how we can maintain a balance between sustainability and development to continue enjoying a fair and acceptable way of life.
