Colours of Delta de l'Ebre

During those holiday days I have been to Delta de l’Ebre with all my family to celebrate my birthday’s grandmother.  I didn’t speck finding such a beautiful place! Sometimes the strongest and the most wonderful things are those we have so close but we cannot see.

There are four colours on those vast rice fields:

Blue... When spring wakes up and sun starts to shine nervously, farmers plant rice seeds for the entire field and water those small bottoms that will become fruit. Blue is the sky... It is the quietest and the purest reflection.

Green... Summer is happiness, happiness is life, life is nature, and nature is green. The plants rise up trying to touch the sky, giving its better harvest. Leafs paint the landscape with the colour green.

Yellow... Autumn arrives wearing a coat of cold. Birds become sad while yellows prevail on the fields. As they sow, so they reap. It is the time to collect the rice.

Brown... Every piece of life that persists on the fields expires in the winter. Plants die, insects sleep, the warm come to an end and the nature is shrouded in silence. Brown is the colour of the drought.

If you have the chance to go there make the most of your time.
