Walking & Cycling

Having 6000km of marked footpaths Catalonia is particularly rich in walking routes. River Ebro Apartments are ideally situated to access several of the long distance hiking routes and many local routes between villages and towns.


Roques de Benet -Els Ports Natural Park	Mountains of Terra Alta

In this southern corner of Catalonia it is, of course, the River Ebro that has been the greatest influence on the land. Here, on its final stretch to the Mediterranean it cuts its way through a series of mountains creating dramatic, craggy landscapes and a fertile, green river valley. For the walker or cyclist this means that you can choose from the gentler slopes of the river valley where you can explore numerous hill villages en route and watch farmers at work in the acres of almond, peach, pear and cherry orchards. Or you can tackle the crags and peaks of the surrounding mountains where you may see eagles and vultures soar overhead.

Mont Caro in the Els Ports mountains is the highest peak in this region at 1447metres. Not by any means the highest mountain range in Spain but to put it in perspective this is still some 100 metres higher than Ben Nevis – Britains highest peak. And yet in little over half an hours drive from Mont Caro you can be on the flatlands of the Ebro Delta with its network of lanes around the rice paddies and lagoons.

There are also 2 sections of the Via Verde in this region. The Via Verde (the Green Way) is a series of routes throughout Spain that have been made from disused railway lines and therefore have few, if any, steep gradients. The surfaces are wide, flat and asphalted which make them ideal for families with children, the elderly or even mobility impaired. These routes cut through spectacular mountain scenery and have a series of tunnels and viaducts, old railway stations and historic villages.

We have a selection of booklets and maps at the apartments featuring a variety of walks. Whichever routes you choose, you will not be disappointed with the spectacular views, the peace and quiet or the variety of wild flowers and birds.

We have a range of good quality 18 gear mountain bikes available (with front and rear suspension) and offer a drop off and pick up service if required.
