A beloved seaside resort in the Catalan region, Sant Carles de la Ràpita is a real little paradise nestled in the Terres de l'Ebre. Just 3 hours from the French border and 2 hours from Barcelona, Sant Carles de la Ràpita is located on the highly prized Costa Dorada, known for its crystal clear waters that delight water sports enthusiasts. Sun, tapas, beach, sea, cultural escapades and gastronomic discoveries: what better way to enjoy a dream holiday?
Rich in an important historical heritage, the city centre of Sant Carles de la Ràpita and in particular its main square will immediately immerse you in its typically Spanish atmosphere, both welcoming and cheerful. An important old historical and religious centre, the city is rich in various influences: you will have to visit the Mercat square, Los Porches, but also the fountains of "Les Alamedes", the Nova church, "La Glorieta" and the Mirador de la Guardiola. Dominating the seaside resort from its 116 meters high, you will have to climb it to be able to contemplate a wonderful panorama on the Ebro Delta. Sant Carles de la Ràpita is one of the most important fishing ports in Catalonia and is the ideal place to taste mussels and oysters, but above all succulent shrimps, very famous in the municipality. On the side of the restaurant "La Cantona", the fish and seafood are particularly delicious! The excellent cuisine that you can enjoy during this stay is the result of the quality of the local products of the Ebro Delta, such as rice and seafood, in particular, from 100% local cultures.
After visiting the city and its port, but also its natural reserves such as the Natural Park of the Ebro Delta, the Serra du Montsià and the Natural Park of the Ports, you will absolutely have to visit its many beaches. Large and perfect for water sports, you will be able to enjoy many activities, whether you are in Sant Carles de la Ràpita with your family or friends, and whether you are a beginner or not. Renowned for its azure colour, clarity and depth, the waters of the seaside resort are particularly popular with scuba diving enthusiasts, who come in large numbers each year to admire the richness of the treasures of the Spanish coast and more particularly the Ebro Delta. In addition to diving, you will also have the opportunity to sail, water-ski, surf, kayak, windsurf, paddle, kitesurf, windsurf, but also sea excursions through the Ebro Delta Natural Park and Alfacs Bay on boat cruises or catamaran trips... In short, something to delight young and old! For relaxing breaks, the coastline of Sant Carles de la Ràpita reveals more than 20 kilometres of clear sandy beaches, each more beautiful than the next. The beach of "El Garbi", glued to the port, is lined with palm trees, a garden and lawns. You will find chiringuitos, pedalo rental companies, and space to put your towel down in complete peace of mind. The beach of "Les Delicies" is loved by families, as is the quiet "Platja del Suis" (known for its panoramic view of the Bay of Alfacs) and the beach of "Aiguassera". The wild and wild "Playa del Trabucador" is immense and is loved by Nordic walking enthusiasts in particular, as well as families and fishing enthusiasts, and lovers of wide open spaces.
Finally, if you are more interested in activities in the heart of nature, you can take advantage of the growth of cycle tourism in the area to discover its natural treasures during cycle tours, but also on foot, on horseback, and even in 4x4: we advise you to take the "Route des Lagunes", a magnificent discovery. Between sea and mountains, Sant Carles de la Ràpita offers striking contrasts and immense opportunities for activities for adults and children alike. Bird watching, quad biking, canyoning, climbing in the Montsià massif, cultural visits, adventure sports and gastronomic workshops will complete the idyllic picture of this holiday under the sun.

Recommended: Maria bar and Asmundo restaurant, (takeaway food - rue Pau which faces the market). Hyper-fresh fish from La Lonja to the central market at the lowest prices in the city (fresher and cheaper than Eroski - Mercadona is more than mediocre on this shelf).
