Nature, beaches with crystal clear waters and a unique gastronomy – a holiday in Alcanar is a dream getaway.

If you want to swim in perfectly clear blue water with views of the spectacular Ebro delta or enjoy the calm in the air in Sòl de Riu, a natural space where unspoilt coves are interspersed with low cliffs at the mouth of the Sénia river, then Alcanar will exceed your expectations. Not only that – hiking trails and sports activities will keep the whole family fit and active.

It is believed that the name Alcanar comes from the Latin word cannaba, a type of Roman civil settlement, which it is thought is the origin of the town. Don't wait any longer – book our Cheap holidays to Alcanar and get to know Catalonia's southernmost town. The Sierra de Montsià provides a beautiful backdrop to the area, a perfect location to enjoy nature in all its aspects.

While the natural beauty that surrounds Alcanar is one of its main attractions, it is not the only one and, with our Alcanar holiday packages, you will be able to discover them all. The historic town centre also houses various buildings of historical and artistic interest that are well worth a visit. The single naved Renaissance-style parish church of Sant Miquel Arcàngel presides over the town with a bell tower that can be seen from many points. Meanwhile, the Sanctuary of the Mare de Déu del Remei, a 16th-century construction combining Gothic, Renaissance and Neoclassical styles, is just under two miles away, rewarding the visitor with stunning views of the coast.

There are many ways to get to Alcanar. A bus line connects the town to Barcelona airport in less than three hours, so wait no longer, book your flight plus hotel to Alcanar straightaway. You can also get to the town by train. The L'Aldea-Amposta station has connections to other Mediterranean cities and, from there, you can easily reach your destination by bus or taxi. Enjoy a well-deserved vacation on the Ebro delta.
