k&m: a republican river
This Kayak & Memory takes place along the stretch between Vinebre and Móra d’Ebre, the setting of many events during the Battle of the Ebro, where some remnants of those times when Republicans and Nationalists disputed the territory are still preserved.
Paddle in a kayak through these very scenes. You will discover corners as spectacular as they are full of history, while the guides from Terra Enllà, with narratives that will transport us back to that dark period, will enlighten us on what we see. We will pass through the narrow passage of Pas de l’ase, the mouth of the Siurana River, or the wild island of Subarrec, a natural space of great beauty.
The central theme of this journey is the Army of the Ebro, who were they? how did they live? what relationship did they have with the civilian population? how did they cross the Ebro? All these questions and many more will be answered during a journey through the Ebro and its history.

TIPS FOR KAYAKING ACTIVITIES
In the summer you must wear clothes and shoes that can get wet. It is better that the footwear is well held on the foot. If possible, you should avoid wearing flip flops, as it is easier to lose them and they are not as comfortable for doing the activity. We recommend wearing a t-shirt during the activity, to avoid possible sunburn and the rubbing of the life jacket on the skin.
During the activity it is important to bring water, mosquito repellent and sun protection (sun cream, cap and sunglasses). It is also recommended to bring spare clothes for after the activity.
It is necessary to protect electronic devices, such as cameras or telephones, and if possible, to tie the glasses, especially if they are prescription. At Enblau we have some watertight drum and ropes, but we cannot guarantee that we will always have them available.
Individual kayaks are comfortable, stable and very manoeuvrable. They are of the so-called “closed” or “sit-in” which gives them extra stability, and on winter routes they are the most suitable because they prevent us from getting wet from the waist down. They are our recommendation for people without experience, as they make it easier to learn to kayak.
Double kayaks are so-called “sit-on-top” or unsinkable. They are a little less maneuverable than the single ones, due to their larger volume, but they allow up to two adults and two small children to be carried comfortably. It is advisable that paddlers already have previous experience, but it is not essential. They are also suitable for large people.
In winter it is important to wear a thermal sweater or one that keeps the body warm and a waterproof jacket. We leave spraydecks to prevent your legs from getting wet with the splashes that can occur when paddling. At this time it is also advisable to have at least two changes of clothes; one to take during the activity in a waterproof bag and another to leave in the car for when we finish the activity.
