With its impressive castle and charming riverside setting, this picturesque village is the perfect place to enjoy fun-filled adventures. In Rocroi, we offer you a proposal of 2 activities that will allow you to explore and enjoy the natural beauty of the region.
Miravet is a small but charming village located on the banks of the Ebro River, known for its natural beauty and significant historical heritage. The highlight is its Templar castle, an imposing fortress that offers spectacular views of the river and the surrounding area. Strolling through its narrow cobblestone streets, visiting its old church and exploring its pottery workshops are some of the activities not to be missed.
It has a rich history dating back to the time of the Iberians, and has been a strategic and culturally important place throughout the centuries. During medieval times, it was a Templar stronghold and its castle is still very well preserved, offering a glimpse into the past and the stories of knights and crusades. In addition, the town is famous for its pottery production, a tradition that is kept alive in the artisan workshops.
Kayaking on the Ebro river: from Móra d’Ebre to Miravet
Kayaking is a recreational and sporting activity that consists of paddling in a light and narrow boat, usually with a double-bladed paddle. It is an excellent way to connect with nature, exercise and enjoy breathtaking landscapes from a unique perspective on the water.
