Exploring the south of Catalonia in a campervan is perfect for those who seek tranquility and nature. This trip will take you on a tour of hidden coves, coastal walks, quaint local towns in Tarragona, and the impressive Ebro Delta.
Rent a campervan in Barcelona and head to l’Ametlla de Mar. There you’ll have great views that overlook where you’ll spend your first night.
Explore the coves as the sun sets and be sure to take a dip in the sea before dinner. There are many small coves where tranquility reigns, near the parking lot.
Have breakfast with sea views and take a morning dip as the sun rises.
The part of the route we’ll take includes l’Ametlla de Mar, El Perelló and l’Ampolla. The route starts at Alguer beach in l’Ametlla de Mar and goes along the GR-92 trail, which follows the Camino de Ronda coastal walk in this area. The distance from l'Ametlla de Mar to l’Ampolla is 16 kilometers. A tour along well-preserved coastal trails in Catalonia. Look out for the ruins of old watchtowers and trenches, reminding us of less peaceful times.
Explore the village on foot and visit the local fish market at the port. To this day you can still appreciate the hustle and bustle of the fish market as it is traditionally operated.
Head to Cala Xelin where you can park your campervan overnight and have a barbecue on the beach. Cala Xelin is a rocky cove where there are usually few people in comparison to other coves. It’s a truly spectacular place.
Head to the Ebro Delta, in the direction of Platja del Trabucador. We recommend stopping to do a spot of birdwatching at the lagoon.
In the heart of the Ebro Delta natural park, explore its 6 km stretch of sand lapped by open sea on one side and the calm, almost lake-like waters of the Mediterranean on the other. If you’re a fan of kitesurfing, this is the place for you; if not, enjoy the long walks and unbeatable views.
Discover the best view of the Ebro Delta, from a different perspective. Grab your bike and ride up the Montsià mountain, known as La Foradada, for a sunset that’s out of this world.
*We recommend you wait until it’s dark to drive your campervan onto the sand at Cala Xelin. *You can rent bikes at Sant Carles de la Ràpita and set out from there. *Stop at a supermarket on the way to buy dinner and breakfast, as there are no supermarkets nearby. *Make reservations at the Molí dels avis and La Llotja restaurants well in advance. *Take out IATI Escapadas travel insurance to avoid any scares on the road.
The Ebro Delta is the largest wetlands in Spain, and is unique in the country. In fact, in terms of surface area, it is the third largest delta in the entire Mediterranean.
If you go kayaking, take a trash bag and collect plastic from the sea. You’ll be truly surprised at how much you collect.
Mountain biking. We recommend wearing a helmet.
