'''Flix''' ({{pronounced|ˈfliʃ}}) is a town in ''[[Comarques of Catalonia|comarca]]'' of [[Ribera d'Ebre]], [[Catalonia]]. Situated on a promontory by the [[Ebre]] (Ebro) river, the town occupied an important strategic position. Situated on the [[Madrid]]–[[Barcelona]] railway line, it expanded in the early twentieth century with the construction of a [[hydroelectric power station]] and an important chemical works (Electroquímica de Flix).
There is good fishing in the horseshoe-shaped bend in the river (day ticket). Every year there is a large international fishing competition at Flix. Flix is a little upstream from [[Ascó]] where excellent fishing can be enjoyed in scenic surroundings.
