Priorat - Wine, Olives, Monuments, and Much More
In the hinterland of Miami Playa lies the Priorat. The Priorat is Catalonia's oldest wine-growing region. In 2001, Priorat was elevated to Spain's highest quality level DOCa (Denominación de Origen Calificada). Currently, the wine-growing areas of Priorat and Rioja are the only two that are allowed to carry this highest designation of origin.

Natural Park Serra del Montsant
In 2002, a natural park with an area of 9,242 hectares was established in part of the mountain range. The Montsant mountain is also located in the hinterland of Miami Playa.
Montsant is home to one of the most diverse plant worlds in Catalonia. In particular, the area around the Montsant River with the resident weasels, genets, or wildcats should be mentioned. Various birds of prey nest on the cliff faces, including the rarely seen black-striped eagle or the eagle owl.
The river impresses with countless reptiles, amphibians, and fish such as the Iberian viper, the salamander, the barbel, or the catfish. The area known as Congost de Fraguerau in Ulldemolins has been declared a refuge for wild plants.

The Delta of the Riu Ebre or Rio Ebro forms the largest wetland on the Catalan Mediterranean coast in terms of area. Spain's most famous river, the Ebro, has created a truly unique, unusual, and beautiful landscape here in its delta; an interplay of lagoons, channels, and rice fields. The rice from the Ebro Delta is an important ingredient for typical Catalan cuisine and one of the most famous specialties – Paella. The Ebro Delta is an important stopover and habitat for numerous bird species. Since 1983, large parts of the Ebro Delta have been designated as a nature reserve.
