Abderraman III decided to build this fortification, which now houses La Zuda (the well), next to four splendid large Catalan Gothic windows. The decoration of the interior assimilates the predominance of Christian and regal characters with classical style furniture and wooden beams. Within the walls, with Arabic motifs, the dining room is important for its large Gothic windows. Inside, it offers rice dishes, 'anguila en suc' (eels in broth), 'suquet de peix' (fish in sauce) and 'pastisets' (vermicelli cakes) and 'Garrofetas' (dessert). Activities nearby include canyoning, golf, horse riding, mountain bikes, punting and 4x4 routes. The Zuda Castle presides over the old quarter of Tortosa and its artistic and historical riches. It also dominates the fertile plain of the Ebro and the Montecaro Massif. The most recommended access is from the A-7 motorway, exit 40. Tortosa is located 56 miles from Tarragona, the capital of the province.In the middle of the fertile plain of the Ebro and backed by the Beceite mountains, which can be superbly viewed from the swimming pool and balconies, the Parador rises up in the upper part of the town, in a setting which combines the monumental beauty of the town with the attractions of the different natural enclaves which surround it.
