Historical Re-enactment Festivals

Some history is told and some is acted out. In Terres de l'Ebre, certain episodes of the past return to the streets every year: the Battle of the Ebro with re-enactments in the very places where it happened, the Renaissance of Tortosa when the city was the capital of a prosperous territory, or re-enactments of farming and river life. These are not fairground shows: local associations take part and research the costumes, trades and events, and the audience ends up inside the scene.
