Battle of the Ebro

Culture

“In the land furrowed with trenches,where the sweet blue flower of lavenderkept summoning the bees:There the defeated soldiers remained” Pàndols (Gerard Vergés) In recent years, Terres de l'Ebre has revived tourism linked to historical memory. The various Battle of the Ebro interpretation centres in the Terra Alta region, one of the areas worst hit by the fighting of the Civil War between July and November 1938, give an overview of different aspects of life in the trenches. The tourism on offer linked to this war episode includes the ghost village of Corbera d'Ebre, razed by the Condor Legion and Italian aviation, and Hill 402, a spot with magnificent views once held by Republican troops. Many of these guided routes now appear linked to wine tourism, increasingly developed in the region.
