What to see and do in Móra d'Ebre

Móra d'Ebre
Village
Móra d'Ebre is the capital of the Ribera d'Ebre, in Tarragona, on the right bank of the Ebro, at the centre of the Mora basin, with 5,811 inhabitants (INE 2025), known for the clotxa and the Festa del Riu. It preserves the castle of Mora, with well-preserved walls and two circular towers, which in the Middle Ages formed part of the Ebro's defensive line and was the scene of the struggle of the barony of Entença against the Templars of Miravet and Ascó. Settlement dates back to the Neolithic, some 6,000 years ago, with remains of the pit grave culture next to the arched bridge, and vestiges of a Roman villa at Els Emportells. It was reconquered in 1153 by Ramon Berenguer IV. It lives off dry and irrigated farming, the food industry and trade.
Castle of Móra
Monument
A medieval castle of Andalusi origin located to the north of the old town of Móra d'Ebre (Ribera d'Ebre), beside the right bank of the Ebro, declared a Cultural Asset of National Interest. Documented since 1060, it was conquered in 1153 by Ramon Berenguer IV and belonged to the barony of Entença. Fortified in the 15th century and damaged in successive conflicts, including the First Carlist War and the Spanish Civil War, it fell into ruin. Restored from the 1980s onward, it retains about 350 metres of wall in good condition, a tower and a large terrace, and has been open to visit as a viewpoint since 2002.
Coat of Arms of the Montagut
Monument
The Montagut coat of arms, declared a Cultural Asset of National Interest, is found on the façade of the house of Ramon Montagut, in the town centre of Móra d'Ebre, on the corner between the plaça de Dalt and the carrer d'Isabet. It is a rectangular stone panel with a shield divided into four quarters: the first and fourth show two rows of lozenges, and the second and third a steep mountain with a prominent peak; the whole is crowned by a knight's helmet in profile surrounded by plant motifs. The Montagut family received rights over Móra d'Ebre in the 11th century, where they settled, and in 1148 Sanç de Montagut accompanied Ramon Berenguer IV in the conquest of Tortosa.
Festival of el Riu de Móra d'Ebre
Activity
Festa Major of Móra d'Ebre, recognised as a festival of national interest, centred on the town's relationship with the river Ebro.
Festival of la Clotxa de la Ribera d'Ebre
Activity
The Festa de la Clotxa is a gastronomic festival organised every year since 2004 by the Consell Comarcal de la Ribera d'Ebre, on a Sunday between February and March, rotating among the municipalities of the district -including Móra la Nova, Tortosa and Flix- with an official event to present and sample clotxes accompanied by wine and olives. The clotxa is a traditional dish of the Terres de l'Ebre: a kind of sandwich made from a round farmhouse loaf partly hollowed of its crumb and filled mainly with herring and onion, though it is also made with salted fish or marinated meat. In the past, farm labourers prepared it to take to the fields; the name is believed to derive from a pre-Roman root that came through the Mozarabic language.
La Clotxa
Curiosity
The clotxa is a traditional dish of the Terres de l'Ebre, and especially of the Ribera d'Ebre, consisting of a round loaf partly hollowed of its crumb and filled with smoked herring, onion, tomato and charred garlic, with olive oil and salt; the whole is then covered again with the crumb removed at the start. It was prepared by farm labourers when they went to work in the fields, and it is an expression of the traditional ways of life of the territory: raftsmen, farm labourers, fishermen, olive pickers and grape harvesters. Although the term clotxa is now widespread throughout the district, similar filled loaves exist under other names depending on the town. Since 2004 the Festa de la Clotxa has been held every year, on a Sunday between February and March, a travelling gastronomic event held in the district's municipalities.
Angel hair pastries
Food and drink
Turnovers of oil dough filled with angel-hair pumpkin jam, folded into a half-moon and dusted with sugar. They are the festival sweet of the Terres de l'Ebre and are baked in the pastry shops and in the houses for the main festivities.
