Overview

This superb trip follows the River Ebro - the longest river in Spain - as it flows from its source in the Cantabrian Mountains down to the distant Mediterranean. The route follows what begins as a tiny mountain stream, flowing through the green pastures of Cantabria, beautiful valleys, imposing canyons, vineyards, past pretty and unknown villages, allowing you to witness the changes in the landscape and the river itself. Finally, you arrive in La Rioja, home of the finest wines produced in Spain. A sea of vineyards dotted with ancient villages, castles, and wine-producing bodegas will mesmerize you, all with the limestone mountains of the Sierra de Cantabria in the background. This is a magnificent trip for those who wish to visit parts of Spain tourists typically never see.
