Brighter Spain - Brighter Catalonia

The voice of the Baix Ebre

 

 

Accommodation

Fishing

 

 

Catalan: The local language of Catalonia (Catalunya). It reads like French, sounds like Spanish - and is generally messed up by all the visitors! But no one cares. We can help you get by if need be.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rental Accommodation

High on the hill at the top of Paüls, a 4 bedroom house with all ensuite bathrooms. Sleeps up to 12 - with all conveniences and magnificent views.

How about a countryside apartment in Aldover, or clean new cottage with its own pool right on the river?

 

See Accommodation for more information, including some with their own fishing docks or boats.

 

And now also two apartments in this lovely orange grove villa, just five minutes from historic Tortosa.

And a fabulous ground floor apartment with great views of the mountains near Tortosa, but cooler as it nestles in the hills.

 

Or how about a "Hunter's Lodge" in the Burga valley in the Cardo foothills, with horse riding or off-roading? An out of the ordinary holiday experience in the Catalan heartland.

 

And for a much classier vacation home-away-from- home, consider one of these luxury suites in a lovely village house in Rasquera - also in the Burga valley.

 

Or a 2 bedroom cottage just outside Benifallet with stunning views of the river and valley. A perfect peaceful spot with easy access to fishing, hiking, birding and the beach.

Bed and Breakfast

How about a complete affordable fishing experience in this mountain B&B, including Reus airport pickup, transportation, boat and fishing?

Diary from Spain

Our complete diary, with pictures. The adventures, the joys, the family hassles, the medical issues, finding a property, our crazy building phase, our Spanish family and our connections to the outside world. We didn't quite realize how much we were pioneers in settling in this part of Spain, even though we came in 2003.

Vacationing in the Tortosa region
....
lower Ebro area of Spain

Along with vacation, travel and relocation, explore the Lower Ebro River Valley (Baix Ebre) and all the many ecological delights of the Ebro Delta area of Spain (Costa Daurada), especially around Tortosa. And of course, the wonderful Terra Alta vineyards, along with the peacefulness of the Ribera D'Ebre plateau.

See why it is a brighter decision to fish and vacation in this part of Spain. The area abounds with an enormous variety of birds and birds of prey…a "twitchers" delight… Hikers and cyclists heaven. More -->

Local Tortosa Interests

Need some Spanish or Catalan lessons?

For many UK people, learning Catalan is easier than Spanish because of its strong overlap with French.

Or how about a good cuppa tea?

See about these and other places of local interest in the Local Guide section. Includes walking tours, festivals and other current events.

Plus Miquel, your savior when your car breaks down.

Property Hunters

Why not live the Brighter Spain life and relax in one of our choices of accommodation - with no pressure from Agents? Draw your own conclusions and have a vacation at the same time. Bring the family.

Or retire to Tarragona province like we did. You'll love it too. It is far less crowded, and much cheaper hear, than the Costa Del Sol or Costa Brava areas, yet we are only 90 minutes from the fabulous Barcelona metropolis.

Art and History

This region overflows with interests for the artists and historians (especially abundant old Roman history). It is a land of Four Seasons - each to be enjoyed - and the amazing autumn colours of the tree-clad mountains, vineyards and fruit groves - wild flowers in all seasons - a beauty to capture on film - panoramic seasons to match the best in the world - a view around every corner!


We passed on buying this fixer-upper!

Catalunya here we come: 300 days of sun a year - with mountains, rivers, plateaus, vineyards, hiking, golf and fishing
