Rice Planting Festival – Sant Jaume d’Enveja
🗓 Sunday, June 8 | 📍 Mas Illa de Riu, Sant Jaume
The Rice Planting Festival is a unique day to relive and share one of the most deeply rooted traditions of the Ebro Delta: the manual planting of rice. An activity that pays tribute to the men and women who, for generations, have worked the land with effort, respect, and wisdom.
