River Ebro Guest House
Canoeing in Spain
There is no better way to explore the River Ebro in Spain than by canoe and the River Ebro Guest House is in the ideal location to do just that.
Using Canadian ‘Old Town’ open canoes you will be able to access parts of the River Ebro and the riverbank that are inaccessible from land. It's length and width make it very safe and extremely easy to manoeuvre, requiring very little effort, even when paddling upriver.
The scenery and views from the river are breathtaking and you will see many Species of Birds in their natural habitat. In the shallow stretches catfish will often be seen on the riverbed and large shoals of Carp will clearly be seen.
Choice of 4 launch sites.
Above the Riba Roja Dam. This expanse of open water is ideal for canoeing with many small inlets to explore.
Below the Riba Roja Dam. This section of the river is slow flowing and has many islands and inlets to explore. It passes by the Sebes Nature Reserve and the many bird species nesting in that area.
Below the Dam at Flix. Behind the River Ebro Guest House the river is at its shallowest as it meanders southwards towards the Mediterranean Sea. The river flows around the town of Flix which has a ferry service providing a vital link with the surrounding agricultural land.
Asco Launch Site. For centuries cargo and passengers were transported by river-barges, providing a vital link between villages and towns dotted along its course. The many landing stages on this stretch of river provide ideal locations to disembark and take in the scenery and enjoy a picnic lunch.
The canoes comfortably take 3 adults and are equipped with rod holders. Prior to setting off you will receive practical instruction in safe handling techniques and safety equipment is provided. Canoes are easy to handle and are a pleasant way to explore the river. The daily hire charge is for 7 hours canoeing and includes transport to your chosen launch site, pickup and transport back to the River Ebro Guest House.
