Welcome to the Baix Ebre

This is the area of the Baix Ebre, the lower Ebro area. People here are very proud of where they live and there is a definite identity among the people who live here in the south of Catalunya.


Maps of where to find us

These images have been taken from Google maps, where I am sure all of you have already searched for us. As you will have seen we are about 170 kms south of Barcelona down the coast.

If you want to see the maps in more detail click on them.

This is where we are in relation to Tarragona, our nearest big capital, which is in itself south of Barcelona.



Here you can see where we are with relation to the coast and to the Ebro Delta.



This is Roquetes and Tortosa close up, here I have labelled the school, the Hotel Corona and the station in Tortosa.

The library

The library is sometimes used as an auxiliary classroom and also as a study area, it has several access points for internet and also a "communications centre" for projecting material on a screen for staff meetings or other meetings.
