\nDertosa, Turtuixa or Tortosa… This is the city of the three cultures \u2014Christian, Muslim and Jewish\u2014, and remnants of all three can be observed throughout the city. <\/strong><\/p>
\nIf you have a whole weekend to visit Tortosa, then relax and enjoy everything the city has to offer. You can spend the first day exploring the old part: the old town, the cathedral (which has an outstanding permanent exhibition), the views from Suda Castle, the Jewish quarter and the Royal Colleges. See Tortosa in a day<\/a><\/p>
\nFrom a culinary point of view<\/strong>, Tortosa\u2019s privileged location means that it offers a wide range of options, with sea and mountain dishes and numerous places where you can simply indulge in a few tapas and a glass of wine.<\/p>

<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<\/p>
\nOn the second day<\/strong>, you can visit the city centre, which has a strong modernist<\/strong> influence, as well as the local park. Another option is to stroll across the bridges: the Pont Roig (the old railway bridge that marks the start of the Greenway) and the Pont de l\u2019Estat, which offers fantastic views of the city and river. Near the Market<\/strong> lies the pier<\/strong>, where visitors can engage in activities such as boat trips aboard Tortosa\u2019s felucca.<\/strong><\/p>

\nTortosa is located between Els Ports Natural Park and the Ebro Delta Natural Park<\/strong>. Take advantage of its location to explore these outstanding natural areas at some point over the weekend.<\/p>

<\/i><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>
\n\u00a0One option is to take in one of the many walking routes<\/strong> through Els Ports Natural Park<\/strong> and immerse yourself in the lush natural surroundings. Els Ports massif conceals hard-to-reach areas that canyoners will love. The geological formations of Els Ports have given rise to a unique landscape. This area is home to 1,200 different plant species and 50% of Catalonia\u2019s listed reptiles and amphibians<\/strong>.<\/p>

\nIt is also possible to visit the neighbouring region of Terra Alta<\/strong> to sample its renowned wines<\/strong> and the charming villages at the foot of Els Ports. The Roques de Benet<\/strong> was a source of inspiration for the painter Pablo Picasso, who lived in Horta de Sant Joan<\/strong> at different times during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They say that he may well have discovered cubism here, because of the peculiar forms of these rocks. In 1966, Els Ports National Hunting Reserve was created and, in 1992, the territory was included in the Plan for Areas of Natural Interest. In 2001, Els Ports<\/strong> was recognised as one of the most significant natural areas in Catalonia<\/strong> and the second largest, after the Cad\u00ed-Moixer\u00f3 Natural Park.<\/p>

<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]The Greenway<\/h2><\/p>
\nOne of the options for visitors to Tortosa is to dedicate a morning or afternoon to a bike ride along the Greenway<\/strong>. The old route of the Val de Zaf\u00e1n railway line can only be tackled by bike<\/strong>, on foot or on horseback<\/strong>, and connects Puebla de H\u00edjar in Aragon with Tortosa. Today it is one of the main tourist attractions in the south of the province of Tarragona<\/strong>.<\/p>

<\/div>Ebro Delta<\/h2><\/p>
\nOn the other hand, the wide, flat Ebro Delta<\/strong> is just a short car journey<\/strong> from Tortosa<\/strong>. The Delta also offers numerous walking and cycle routes and makes the perfect location<\/strong> for family activities<\/strong>: cycling, kayaking, birdwatching and visits to adventure and nature centres for children, such as the Parc Deltaventur and M\u00f3nNatura Delta.<\/p>
\nThe Ebro Delta also offers a unique, varied cuisine<\/strong>, with dishes well worth trying, like rice dishes and paellas, smoked eel, eel in sauce or “xapadillo”.<\/p>
