Birdinginspain.com has been showing fellow birders around northeast Spain (Catalonia and Aragon) since 1996 and has enough experience of hotels to know <strong>which establishments offering accommodation<\/strong> are the ones that <strong>birders would choose<\/strong> if they knew about them.<\/p>\n<p>If you look at the <strong>Ebro Delta itineraries<\/strong> on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.birdinginspain.com\/sites-and-itineraries\" title=\"Birding sites and itineraries in northeast Spain\">Birdinginspain.com website<\/a> you&#8217;ll see our two choices for this great birding hotspot: the Delta Hotel and Lo Moli de Rosquilles.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Delta Hotel<\/strong> is a family-run, single storey 3-star hotel on the northern side of the River Ebro. It&#8217;s ideal accommodation for birders with families (pool, lounge, nice grounds etc. &#8211; we stayed there with our kids in August 2006) and also for those who are keen to start birding within a short distance of the hotel. They also serve excellent fish and seafood-based local dishes (my wife&#8217;s favourite is the black rice).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lo Moli de Rosquilles<\/strong> is not in the delta itself, but is ideally situated for <strong>birding both the Ebro Delta and els Ports massif<\/strong> (an unbeatable combination of birds and scenery). It&#8217;s <strong>rural accommodation<\/strong> at its best, its heart being a restored olive mill. If you&#8217;re birding, but also have a soft spot for local tradition and history, then this is the place for you.<\/p>\n<p>Inland, a 45-minute drive more or less from the northern half of the Ebro Delta, is the <strong>Casa Ecol\u00f3gica<\/strong> in the <strong>remote and peaceful village of La Fatarella<\/strong>. It&#8217;s more of a hostal than a hotel, which makes it a more economical proposal for those who have to keep an eye on what they&#8217;re spending, although there are also 6 twin or double rooms available for more personal or intimate accommodation. The building is made of the local stone, and Black Wheatears can be found just down the road!<\/p>\n<p>But don&#8217;t take my word for it, have a look for yourself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SO you&#8217;re planning a birding trip or bird tour to the Ebro Delta and you&#8217;ve been searching the internet for some suitable accommodation?
