What's on in Sant Jaume d'Enveja

Sant Jaume d'Enveja sits on the south bank of the Ebro, deep in the Delta de l'Ebre — a flat, watery landscape of rice paddies, irrigation canals and big skies where the river meets the sea. It's a quiet farming and fishing community rather than a resort, the kind of place where flamingos work the lagoons and the horizon is broken only by the odd rice silo. Birdwatchers and cyclists love it; the beaches are wild and almost empty.

The Festa de la Sega marks the rice harvest with traditional reaping, while the Festa Major brings the town together in summer and the Sant Pere pilgrimage rows out to the hermitage on the Illa de Buda. Here's what's on while you're here.
