Dear friends,
Our preliminary program proposal for a joint international event from 10th till the 14th of November 2023 on the occasion of the 85th anniversary of the end of the Battle of the Ebro is now ready. Please check out the program and plan your participation.
Unfortunately, it is not possible for us to act like a travel agency and to consider all the individual wishes. Therefore, we ask you to book the hotels, arrival and departure individually. Of course, we will try to coordinate and support you. We will inform you about the available hotels after consultation with our cooperation partner Lo Riu.
To our experience, arrival to Barcelona by plane and continuation by rental car is especially practical and allows to be mobile on site. We are happy to help with car pooling and distribution of seats in rental cars.
La Fatarella is unfortunately not directly accessible by train. The nearest train stop of the regional train from Barcelona Sants via Tarragona is Mora la Nova.
Please get in touch with us, if you intend to come to La Fatarella in November.
There will be again the possibility to place plaques personally or have them placed during the trip. We will be happy to support the production of the plaques.
As the coordinating group, we are at your disposal for any questions!
