4ª Etapa: García - Xerta 40 Km.


Amanece un día gris y nublado. En lo que al clima se refiere no nos afecta demasiado, hemos venido a disfrutar del rio y el clima forma parte de esta “aventura “. Pero en esta época tecnológica que vivimos, a veces resulta muy difícil desconectarse por completo de las preocupaciones diarias que acumulamos durante nuestros quehaceres profesionales, y estas se empeñan en aparecer para intentar nublarte lo que ha de ser un esplendido día.





Pero todas las preocupaciones mundanas se disipan poco a poco mientras nos dejamos llevar por la leve corriente del rio. Las nubes, en cambio, nos acompañaran durante el resto de nuestra travesía hacia el mar.


Durante casi todo el recorrido de esta etapa el rio discurre tranquilo y sin dificultades, lo que nos permite relajarnos y disfrutar al máximo de sus innumerables rincones y sus abruptos “canales” laterales, que por momentos nos hacen imaginar que nos encontramos en otro continente.


Dejamos a tras la poblaciones de Mirabet y Benifallet, y poco a poco nos acercamos al axut de Xerta, el ultimo gran obstáculo de nuestra travesía. Siguiendo las indicaciones que alguien, ahora no recuerdo quien, nos dio la pasada noche en García, nuestra intención es “saltar” el axut por la izquierda. Decidíos en nuestro empeño, y confiando en “nuestro guía”, encaramos las proas de nuestros kayaks hacia ese sector. Pero pronto nos damos cuenta que la izquierda a la que se refería nuestro inoportuno guía, no se correspondía con la izquierda que nosotros pensábamos *, y de pronto nos encontramos atrapados en la corriente de la captación del Canal de la Izquierda del Ebro, que nos arrastra hacia sus compuertas semiabiertas.

La situación, verdaderamente, fue algo delicada. Si la corriente nos hubiese arrastrado hacia el interior del canal, el desenlace hubiese sido incierto. Pero, feliz mente, gracias a una hábil maniobra, y a una barca que, providencial mente estaba atracada a la entrada del canal, pudimos sacar los kayaks del agua y “saltar” el axut sin más contratiempos.



De nuevo en el agua, ya solo nos quedaba recorrer el corto tramo que nos separaba del embarcadero de Xerta, donde nos esperaba la sorpresa más agradable de todo nuestro viaje: Jordi, el propietario del bar Sol de Invierno ubicado en la orilla del rio, nos ofrece sus instalaciones para cenar y pasar la noche. Gran conocedor de este tramo del rio, Jordi, nos confirma el error cometido: Definitivamente el axut se “salta” por la derecha. Donde se puede sacar el kayak del agua por una rampa, y depositarlo aguas abajo sin mayores problemas.

*Convencionalmente está establecido que los márgenes de los ríos se referencian según el sentido de la corriente.

There have been a lot of times when I have needed to find out more, but I was not all that sure where to look. The funny part, maybe, is there is enough content on the net, but you are still not sure if the sources are trustworthy. We do understand those feelings very well in our own exploration on the net. What we will do for you is speak about some solid specifics regarding this topic, and you will have the ability to have a firm understanding of what to do next.

The general difficulties of men's and women's style

Both men and women may feel the pressures of keeping their wardrobe up-to-date and in time, yet men's style often seems a lot simpler. Of course, for both genders, costumes and style choices may be equally as intricate, and there are lots of'cool'things that can quickly become fashion faux pas - who are able to say they frequently see people travelling in 70s flares? On the other hand, men's fashion features a few choice items which can exist eternally - which man is likely to watch out of place with a good-quality, tailored suit, for instance? Select basic pieces, colours and materials and you'll never seem out-of-place.

Why common men's style is eternal

The common man's suit has scarcely changed for over a hundred years. True, there are many options for different functions, however they are all popular in their search for a smart, sharp look for the wearer. The great thing about traditional style for men is that it's simply elegant effectively neat. A well-groomed gentleman can almost always look his sharpest in a well-tailored suit, and it is a testament to the style of such clothing. A match will be worn to work in many careers due to the professional look it offers to the individual, instilling a sense of respect and trust. Similarly a match will undoubtedly be used to many social events, such as a tuxedo to a black-tie affair. This incredible flexibility which allows matches to be utilized in nearly all functions is what gives it its timeless edge and a lasting invest men's fashion.

Modern developments in classic men's fashion

Though basic men's styles can never be replaced, it's interesting to remember that shifts in men's fashion trends have produced particular basic garments back in fashion. The reputation of vintage clothing, specially, has brought back a wide-variety of basic types into men's wardrobes, such as that of the dandy guy. 'Dandy'is a term used to reference men who dress in a classic yet lavish way, placing importance on appearance and working in a polished manner. This pattern for almost'over-the-top'traditional style for men is evident from events such as the'Tweed Run', where men and women of all ages clothe themselves in notably Victorian-style attire and decide to try the roads on vintage cycles - with lots of the men wearing flawless mustaches! That is only one of several examples of proof showing the revival of such designs. Additionally, there are numerous blogs on the web which concentrate on gentlemanly type - such as'The Dandy Project'and'Dandyism'- as well as entire web sites such as'The Art of Manliness'specialized in providing articles on basic men's fashion and grooming.

In conclusion, though specific facets of traditional men's style may be brought back as new styles, the essential clothes that they derive from will never slip out of fashion.
