Ebro Basin
Description
The Ebro, rising near the Atlantic coast in the Cantabrian Mountains of northern Spain, drains a triangular basin between the Pyrenees and the Iberian Mountains, before emptying through a wide delta into the Mediterranean. This delta, covering 320 km², is one of the most important wetlands in Europe. An intensive rice-growing area covers 60 % of the delta.
