Móra d'Ebre
Half a day is enough to see the castle and riverside; use it as a lunch stop or a quiet base for exploring the Ebro valley, not a destination on its own.
Móra d'Ebre is the capital of the Ribera d'Ebre county, a small town on the Ebro river with a restored castle, a few hermitages and a relaxed pace. Most travellers pass through on the C-12 or N-420 roads; the town works as a 2–3 hour stop for the castle viewpoint and a meal, or as a quiet overnight if you are cycling the Ebro valley.

Etiquette, safety and scams
Etiquette
- Greeting: Two kisses on the cheek (right then left) between friends and when introduced socially; handshake in business; avoid: Being stiff — Spaniards stand close and touch arms
- Meal times: Late lunch and dinner; long sobremesa (chat after eating); avoid: Rushing to leave or asking for the bill with the last bite
- Noise: Join in the lively conversation; avoid: Reading loud voices as anger
- Siesta hours: Keep noise down in residential buildings 15:00–17:00 and after 23:00; avoid: Phone calls to people at lunch time
- Dress: Smart casual in cities; locals rarely wear shorts in Madrid in town; avoid: Swimwear or bare torsos away from the beach
- Regional pride: Ask about local dishes and festivals; avoid: Assuming Catalan or Basque are dialects of Spanish
Scams and watch-outs
- Castle sections may be closed for restoration: check the tourist office.
- No train station in town: use Móra la Nova station (1 km away) or the bus.
- Restaurants may close on Monday or Tuesday outside summer.
Very safe town; watch for uneven pavement on the castle hill and summer heat. Emergency number 112 works for all services.
