TORTOSA

THE JEWEL OF ARABIC, JEWISH AND CHRISTIAN CULTURES

Located in the heart of the Biosphere Reserve of the Terres de l’Ebre, between the natural parks of the Ebro Delta and Els Ports, Tortosa is a paradise for those who love culture, and its immeasurable heritage has earned it the title of Catalan Capital of Culture 2021. The capital of the Terres de l’Ebre boasts the castle of La Zuda, the Santa Maria Cathedral and elegant Modernist buildings. Thanks to its geostrategic importance, it enjoyed its golden age during the Renaissance, a period which it commemorates each year with a festival of historical recreation, which has been declared of national interest. Follow in the footsteps of Hemingway, who lived in the city in 1938 covering the Civil War as a journalist, and discover Tortosa.
