Cape Tortosa is the eastern end of the island Buda at the Ebro River delta. In the W Cape, at about 1 MN, stands a lighthouse, located on latitude 40 ° 42 and longitude 55 ° 0. This iron tower is 50 m high.

It is not advisable to approach within 2 NM and one must be careful in bad weather. The NE winds cause a current in the cove N of the cape.

Le cap Tortosa est l'extrémité orientale de l'île Buda, au delta du fleuve Ebro. Dans l'W du cap, à 1 MN environ, s'élève un phare, situé sur la latitude 40°42 et la longitude 0°55. Ce pylône en fer est haut de 50 m.

Il n'est pas recommandé de s'approcher à moins de 2 MN et il faut être prudent par gros temps. Les vents de NE provoquent un courant dans l'anse située au N du cap.
