Discover Riba-Roja D'ebre

Riba-roja d’Ebre offers several distinct reasons to visit: walking routes with traces of history, buildings from different periods, a vast natural area around the reservoir, and a traditional dish. If you are looking for a hotel, you can plan your trip around whichever of these themes interests you most.

Walking routes and traces of history

The Ruta Punta de l'Home passes trenches and shelters that formed part of the Republican defensive line during the Spanish Civil War. The Teuleria de la Boca de la Vall preserves the remains of walls from different areas of use, as well as the remains of an old kiln for firing roof tiles. These two places focus on different aspects of history: the route tells the story of the defensive line, while the Teuleria focuses on earlier tile production.

The Camí Natural de l'Ebre, also known as the GR-99, passes by the bridge at Riba-roja d'Ebre and continues from there towards Flix. After crossing the bridge, Riba-roja d'Ebre is just over a kilometre away. On the Ruta de les Sabateres, the Cova del Piquer is 1.7 km away, to the right of the path. These specific route details help with planning: the GR-99 is identified by the bridge and the direction of Flix, while the Ruta de les Sabateres is identified by the cave's location.

Architectural history and cultural heritage

La Garita de Pinyeres is a tower that probably dates from the 19th century and has been declared a Bé Cultural d’Interès Nacional. The parish church of Sant Bartomeu is late Baroque and was completed in 1789. The Romanesque Ermita de Berrús is dedicated to Santa Magdalena; when the reservoir was built, it was moved stone by stone. The details about Sant Bartomeu combine its architectural style and year of completion, while Berrús is placed in its historical context by its Romanesque classification and its relocation as part of the reservoir construction.

Riba-roja d'Ebre is also home to the remains of a former Templar and Hospitaller castle. They complement the themes of religious architecture and reservoir construction with the history of the orders associated with the castle.

The Ebro, nature and sport fishing

The Espai d'Interès Natural Riba-roja covers a vast area on both sides of the Ebro in the reservoir area. The Riba-roja reservoir is also an important destination for sport fishing. Two different interests therefore come together here: the extensive natural area along both riverbanks and a specific leisure activity at the reservoir.

Festa Major and Clotxa

Riba-roja d'Ebre celebrates its Festa Major on 24 August for Sant Bartomeu. The programme may vary from one year to the next. If you are planning your stay around the festival, check the details for the relevant year.

Clotxa also offers a culinary point of interest. The dish is traditionally made with country bread, onion, tomato and garlic, and topped with herring or salted sardine and olive oil. These ingredients give a concrete idea of this traditional preparation and complement the themes of routes, architectural history and nature with a link to food culture.
