The symbolic event was attended by over fifty members of the 1977 cohort, the year Deltebre became a municipality. They planted 50 trees outside the Delta Cultural Centre. Subsequently, the 2026-2077 Time Capsule was buried, preserving testimonies of the municipality for the next 51 years.
The capsule contains a thousand letters written by Deltebre residents, sharing memories, reflections, and wishes for future generations. It also includes a joint letter from the municipal corporation, approved in the plenary session, and various objects and documents illustrating Deltebre in 2026, such as institutional items, press copies, and samples related to the regression of the Ebro Delta.
“"Today we have done two things that have very special symbolism. We have planted 50 trees that will grow with Deltebre and we have buried, among other things, a thousand letters that explain who we are, how we live, and what future we desire. In 51 years, when this capsule is opened, we hope that future generations will be able to look back with the same pride we feel for being from Deltebre, for contributing, day by day, to its transformation, and for being part of this fiftieth anniversary."
Mayor Lluís Soler read a letter addressed to the mayor of 2077, which has also been included in the capsule. The event is part of the fiftieth-anniversary commemorative program, aimed at recovering the municipality's memory and involving citizens in its future. The Commissioner for the 50th Anniversary, Elena Fabra, highlighted that various activities will continue to be developed for the participation of all residents.
The event concluded with a performance by the Ebrense singer-songwriter Montse Castellà, preceded by a duo from the Societat Musical Espiga d’Or.
