Catalan tartana For other uses of this term, see Tartana (nautical).

The tartana is a small wagon of rods mounted on crossbow springs. Two-wheeled covered carriage and lemon tree with blood shot. The front is closed with a two-pane panel and behind, with a door and glass.

The tartana is designed to carry several people inside sitting in two seats placed on each of its sides. In the right rod has a stirrup used by the driver and another in the back. For its part, the driver's seat is a reduced table lined with cowboy attached to the meeting of the right rod and the box. Variants

There is also a square tartana that only differs from the previous one in that the boards and the cover form a parallelepiped.

In Ireland, in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries a variant called "jaunting car" was used for the transport of passengers and it had the peculiarity that the passenger seats were placed transversely to the direction of the march, well faced inwards or outwards with a stirrup protruding from the plane of the wheels to support the feet. Today they are still used in some places of the island as a tourist attraction.
