Discover one of Spain’s most surprising and varied cycling routes, tracing the gentle path of a former railway from the highlands of Aragon to the shimmering shores of the Mediterranean. The Ebro Nature Route offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, cultural heritage, and slow-travel charm—ideal for leisure cyclists seeking a peaceful yet enriching adventure. This 170 km journey follows the Zafán Valley Greenway (Via Verde), crossing spectacular landscapes such as the rugged Els Ports Natural Park and the bird-filled wetlands of the Ebro Delta. Along the way, you’ll ride through quiet villages, past ancient viaducts and tunnels, and spend the night in unique accommodations, including two magnificent Parador hotels. From the medieval streets of Alcañiz to Picasso’s beloved Horta de Sant Joan, from rice fields to sandy beaches, this route invites you to experience Spain off the beaten track—by bike, at your rhythm, immersed in its colors, tastes, and stories.
