What the experience feels like
Families: the RTM double-seat kayaks let the little ones paddle side by side with the adults, with the Templar Castle of Miravet as the backdrop for the first photo of the day.
Couples: three hours with the current behind you, riverside silence and a gorge to close the route. The Ebro provides the setting; you set the pace.
Groups of friends: a technically straightforward descent with history at every bend — the same river where the Battle of the Ebro was fought, now a Biosphere Reserve.
