Description

Context

The Flix Meander is a wide, sweeping bend of the Ebro River in Lleida, known for its tranquil waters and rich riverside vegetation. This protected natural area provides an ideal environment for low-difficulty water activities, especially during summer when full moon nights illuminate the riverbank with a soft silver glow.

The Experience

For approximately two hours, you’ll paddle a single or tandem kayak through the meander under the natural light of the full moon. The still water perfectly reflects the night sky, and silence is only gently broken by the soft stroke of the paddle and the natural sounds of the river. At the end of the journey, relax on the riverside with a mojito or non-alcoholic drink, enjoying the cool evening air and peaceful atmosphere.
