The Treasure of the Ebro

Throughout the millennia, the river has carved this area into a generous interior valley, with fluvial and mountain ecosystems alongside fertile farmlands of sweet fruit, vineyards and olive groves. Here you will find wild ecosystems that have been preserved in their entirety, such as the Sebes nature reserve, the Flix Meander, and the islands and riverbanks, which have been officially declared Natural Interest Sites by the Plan for Areas of Natural Interest of Catalonia (PEIN). Other ecosystems include the Tamarindal de Miravet (tamarind tree grove), and the exuberant fringing forests and coppice forests containing a precious diversity of flora and fauna which must be respected and protected.

Cradle of Cultures

Thanks to this river, the source of life, mankind has been able to settle here throughout history, respecting the river while using it as a navigable waterway. It is here that the local Iberian culture developed.

Major vestiges of other cultures are also visible and form a rich heritage: the masías (traditional farmsteads), vegetable gardens, waterwheels, castles and towns all show a Templar and Muslim legacy. Chapels and churches are testaments to the conversion and expulsion of our Moorish ancestors, while various ruins show the evidence of the fateful Battle of the Ebro River.

Tourist Attractions

The major tourist attractions of the Ribera d’Ebre are concentrated in the towns of Miravet, Tivissa, Flix and Riba-Roja. However, we also encourage you to discover the charm of the rest of the towns, using the Ilercavònia district tour itinerary: the Ruta dels Ibers (Iberian Route), the Ruta del Temple (Temple Route) and the Camí de Sirga (Tow Path). For more information, please call 97-740-1851.

We recommend calling ahead to get all the necessary information. You can also book a guide, who will guarantee access to all the attractions and offer the most comprehensive explanation of local history and heritage. We are also available to organise a visit tailored to your needs, and send you any materials you require.
