What will we explain to you?
During the tour, your guide will explain the history of the "llaguts," traditional boats that sailed the Ebro by the hundreds until the mid-20th century, manned by towmen and assisted by the Towpath. You'll also learn about the history of Tortosa, a two-thousand-year-old city, and the importance of river transport in its economic heyday.
The various historic buildings visible from the river serve as a link for the narrative. Various anecdotes will make this sightseeing cruise more enjoyable and fun.
