Tortosa in a day <\/h1>\"\"\"\"<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]
<\/p>
\n

Two-thousand-year-old Tortosa is the result of the different cultures that have passed through the city and left their mark. Dominated by Suda Castle, Tortosa has a beautiful old town where visitors can lose themselves. It is full of unfamiliar sights and surprises, and the best way to get to know it is on foot<\/strong>.<\/p>

10 a.m. Cathedral and the old town <\/h2>
<\/p>
\n

A good way to start exploring Tortosa is to stroll through the old town<\/strong>: the colourful and charming Carrer de la Rosa<\/strong>, Pla\u00e7a de la Cinta<\/strong> and the alluring Romeu Gate<\/strong>. Next up is a visit to Saint Mary\u2019s Cathedral<\/strong> (accessed via the Port de Palau), which also houses a permanent exhibition, a museum that outlines the historical importance of Tortosa.<\/p>

12 p.m. Royal Colleges<\/h2>
<\/p>
\n

The Royal Colleges<\/strong> of Tortosa are a must-see<\/strong> for all visitors to the city, since they represent a true architectural gem, seemingly untouched by the passage of time. The Renaissance cloister is a small marvel<\/strong>, unlike anything else in Catalonia. The complex of the Royal Colleges also houses the St Dom\u00e8nec Space, permanent exhibition of the city and the Renaissance Festival<\/strong>, which is located in the Church of Sant Dom\u00e8nec. This church is also home to the remarkable cabinet that contains the city\u2019s archive<\/strong>, also from the 16th century.<\/p>

12:30 p.m. Jewish quarter<\/h2>
<\/p>
\n

In the 10th century, Tortosa\u2019s Jewish community was already significant. For centuries, Tortosa was home to one of the most important Catalan Jewish communities<\/strong> and, for many years, one of the largest in the entire Crown. Part of the atmosphere of the aljama has been retained<\/strong> in its urban layout and maze of narrow white streets, an essential trip for all visitors.<\/p>

1 p.m. Suda Castle<\/h2>
<\/p>
\n

For a magnificent view<\/strong> of the city, the Els Ports massif and the whole region, a good idea is to visit Suda Castle, which is set in a privileged location offering a wonderful panoramic view of the surrounding area. The castle (part of which now houses a Parador hotel) was declared a cultural asset of national interest and is an impressive architectural demonstration of the city\u2019s Al-Andalus history. It has the only Arab cemetery ever discovered in Catalonia<\/strong>.<\/p>

2 p.m. Sample the local produce at lunch <\/h2>
<\/p>
\n

A visit to Tortosa provides the perfect opportunity to sample the delicious cuisine of the Terres de l\u2019Ebre<\/strong>, from the rice<\/strong> and seafood<\/strong> of the Ebro Delta, to the agricultural products<\/strong> of the inland area and the DO Terra Alta wine. Tortosa\u2019s traditional desserts<\/strong> are sure to tantalise the taste buds of even the most sweet-toothed visitors: blancmange, pastissets de cabell d\u2019\u00e0ngel (pumpkin jam pasties), orange or chocolate and sopa de la reina cake to name but a few…<\/p>

5 p.m. Modernista park and Ebro river <\/h2>
<\/p>
\n

Spending an afternoon on the banks of the river or even taking a trip<\/strong> on board the felucca, Lo Sirgador<\/strong>, is highly recommended for visitors who barely know Tortosa. The old red railway bridge<\/strong> offers the perfect way to enjoy a walk or bike ride and appreciate views over the city and river. A stroll through the municipal park on the banks of the river is also a good option, since it is another example of the city\u2019s Modernist influence.<\/p>

7 p.m. City centre and tapas<\/h2>
<\/p>
\n

As sunset approaches, we can go ahead to the city centre<\/strong> to have a look at the Art Nouveau buildings<\/strong> or enjoying the shopping area<\/strong> on Carrer de Sant Blai and Avinguda de la Generalitat. Then, to round off the day, head to one of the many small bars in the centre and the old town to sample some tapas<\/strong> and a glass of good wine or a refreshing beer before leaving.<\/p>
