Miravet CastleThe
Templar castle of Miravet is an imposing fortress surrounded by a
25-meter-tall wall. It is located on the top of a hill and affords magnificent views over the
river Ebre. Its strategic position has given it an
important role in numerous conflicts over the course of history.
A boat trip on the river EbreIn

llaüt (a kind of skiff) and other,
flat-bottomed, boats. There are also
river cruises, or you could hire a
canoe or a kayak.
