May 15, Delta de L'Ebre


Well I finally got moving. Monica left in the morning and I packed up my bike and took off towards the South. I only planned a short trip to the Delta de L'Ebre. This is a huge delta area almost totally devoted to rice production. I found the campground out at the end of the Delta and right on the beach. It´s a great spot, mainly because there are not too many people camping at this time of the year. In the summer it must be packed. It is a nature preserve, but there is still a lot of hunting and fishing. In fact they were crop dusting from the air which must be great for the wildlife. But in spite of it there are a lot of birds around.

At night I was kept awake by explosions that kept occuring. Apparently it's something they have installed to scare off the ducks so they don't eat the rice. It goes on all night and is very loud.
That bull at the top was one of a herd that was in the fields around the camp. They looked like bullfighting bulls to me.
