The best way to discover Miravet is by crossing the Ebro river through the last non-motorized boat pass, from the C12, by vehicle.
It is the direct entrance to the Plaza del Arenal and the side parking lot, where you can leave the car and begin the itinerary on foot to the castle.

The panoramic view
Cerca del parquing está el embarcadero, desde donde podrá admirar las vistas del conjunto histórico: el Cap de la Vila, el castillo y el paisaje fluvial de Miravet. Desde aquí pintó Joaquim Mir su famoso cuadro Fantasía del Ebro I y II, entre otros.

Discover the Old Town (Cap de la Vila)
From Plaça del Arenal, where you will find bars to have a drink, you will start the itinerary on foot to the castle passing through the old town of Cap de la Vila, enjoying the views of the river and the monuments and corners of the historic center of Miravet: the Medieval shipyard, the Motxo portal, the Riago Coast, the walls, the mill, the commander's palace (Palau), the flood marks, the Battle of the Ebro devastated area, etc.
Visit the arte center Joaquim Mir
Visit the Joaquim Mir art center, in the Palau de Miravet (+34656266398). This house-monument, former palace of the commander (15th century) is our most unique accommodation.

The Battle of the Ebro (1938)
Through the streets of La Paja, Banco, Ferreries and del Castell we can see the area devastated as a result of the Battle of the Ebro. Abandoned lots with the ruins of the houses that occupied them.
The International Brigades participated in the Battle of the Ebro, fighting against Fascism.
Miravet, like Corbera d'Ebre or Belchite, are the only towns where the passage of the Spanish Civil War is still evident.
The Templar Castle
Walking up Calle del Castell to the imposing castle (10 min), passing in front of El Balcón de Miravet and enjoying the views. A path that in another time traveled knights, servants and pilgrims, armed soldiers, cannons and rifles...
This path is one of the paths of La Cameta Coixa.
