Three-day trip to Tortosa, the Ebro and Matarranya lands

Three-day getaway with a cruise on the Ebro River, in the beautiful town of Mirabet to explore one of the most beautiful towns in Spain, Vallderrobles.

Day 1 - Place of origin - Tortosa on the "Lo Sirgador" cruise - Picasso Museum - Horta de Sant Joan

Departure in the morning towards Tarragona. Stop en route for breakfast (not included) and continue the trip to Tortosa, a city located near the mouth of the Ebro River that preserves significant examples of medieval, Renaissance, Baroque and modernist architecture.

We will discover Tortosa from the Ebro River sailing on a typical boat "Lo Sirgador" where we will go from the impressive monumental Tortosa to the lush riverside forest. After this ride, we will enter the Cathedral of Santa Maria to see its treasures and the splendid baroque chapel dedicated to the Virgin of La Cinta. Transfer to the hotel for lunch.

In the afternoon we will visit the Picasso Centre in Horta (entrance included), located in a former hospital, which aims to pay tribute to Picasso and show the world the strong bonds of esteem that were established between him and Horta, both artistically and emotionally. He once said of Horta: "Everything I know, I learned in Horta."

During his stay in the town, the landscapes of Horta served as inspiration for Picasso to paint The Balsa de Horta and The Factory of Horta d'Ebre, among others. Afterwards, we will have free time in this beautiful town. The centre of Horta has been declared a Cultural Site of National Interest as it preserves its medieval character with narrow, winding streets and stone houses. Dinner and accommodation.

Day 2.- Miravet - Wine Cathedral in Pinell de Brai - Valderrobres

Breakfast at the hotel and departure to visit Miravet, a historic town known to have been settled by the Iberians in the 2nd century, later by the Muslims in the 9th century and the Templars in the 12th century, with important events such as the Battle of the Ebro.

We will have free time to explore this beautiful town presided over by its historic castle. We will then move on to Pinell de Brai where we will take a guided tour with wine tasting at the Cathedral of Wine. This cooperative building is an architectural gem in the early 20th century modernist style designed by César Martinell, a disciple of Antoni Gaudí. A work of art that increases the artistic heritage of Catalonia. Return to the hotel for lunch.

In the afternoon we will go to Valderrobres, the capital of the region. It is considered one of the most beautiful towns in Spain and has an architectural heritage of great value, where the church of Santa María la Mayor stands out, already declared a Historical Monument during the Second Republic. The Town Hall, the Archbishop's Castle and the entire historical complex were declared a Site of Cultural Interest. We will take a tour with a local guide with entrance included in the Valderrobres Castle, the church and the museum. Return to the hotel. Dinner and accommodation.

Day 3.- San Juan Orchard - Calaceite - Cretas - Caves of Wonders

Breakfast at the hotel and departure to visit two towns in the Matarraña region.

Next, we will go to Cretas, where we will take a walk through its medieval historic center, where its main square stands out, representing the range of civilizations that have inhabited it.
