From Garcia to Benissanet or Ginestar

Really one of the canoeing routes along the Ebro, we have recommended more from Rogles.

It includes the best you can find on the river: the calm of a giant river rocking you down with the current; the strenght of the Ebro, that puts you on alert, the best islands that now can be navigated by canoe in the Catalan Ebro: the Subarreig and the Galatxo Island.

Also worthy of being called the 4 locations on this route. The fact that Mora (d'Ebre and Nova) is located in our way, provides a stop for a drink and go the river down later like a canoe cruise.

For nature lovers will be important to paddle in silence, as we see different species of birds. Furthermore, the riparian forest vegetation appears majestically contrasts with olive trees, almond or white pines beyond the river.

If you chose this route with a guide, you sure hear from the Spanish Civil War and its bloody Battle of the Ebro, also dates back to the time of the Templars and even the Iberians as first settlers. In all these times, the river where you are paddling, played an important role.
