“You name it, here you have it” seems to be the case in these lands, and make them quite exceptional if not unique. Terres de l’Ebre is a mosaic, between the Mediterranean sea and the southern most part of the coastal Catalan ranges, whichever way you look at it, whether you are admiring its scenic beauty or its cultural and culinary life. Nor far removed from more frequented tourist resorts and built up areas, this relatively small area is criss-crossed by backroads, lanes and paths, ope- ning it up to the walker, cyclist and motorist alike. There really is a bit of everything in Terres de l’Ebre:

They have left their mark on everything from the folklore and monu- ments to the language and character of the people.

Much to the delight of its inhabitants, in 2013 Terres de l’Ebre was honoured to be declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNES- CO, conferring a status that has become key in launching the area onto the world stage.

Terres de l’Ebre, with its more than 1.000 kms of routes of different types, has a huge range at the disposal of cyclists of all shades and ability. Cycle tourism could be at a leisurely pace to enjoy the scenery, a safe place to try out road biking or MTB trails of varying levels of difficulty.

05 3. The bicycle is the ideal means of transport to get to know Terres de l’Ebre

Terres de l’Ebre and especially Baix Ebre, have great potential as a mecca for cycle tourism, whatever the state of fitness of the cyclist. A firm favourite with Europeans, for whom it is their go to method of transport, the bicycle is also a great way to get around on holidays and weekend breaks and is an increasingly popular form of leisure. A growing trend can be seen in the numbers of people taking up cycling and in the range of tourist offers available.

Cycle tourism is a relaxing way to discover Terres de l’Ebre and its varied scenery. The converted train track “Via Verde de la Val de Zafán” which goes through to Tortosa is ideal for families and groups of friends to cycle along together, taking in the scenery on the way. The same can be said for various stages of the “Camí Natural de l’Ebre”. In fact the bicycle will take the visitor to some of the most out-of-the-way spots on the Delta Ebro Nature Reserve. Here lanes lead to quiet beaches past lagoons and fields of rice.

To sum up, the area has a network of more than 1.000 kilometres of lanes and quiet country roads apart from the “Via Verda” which is over 100 kilometres and completely free of traffic.

The Ports Nature Reserve and the mountainous parts of Terra Alta and Ribera d'Ebre have a network of routes for Nature lovers and mountain bikers. Montsià is also good MTB territory with its paths winding around hilltops, past ravines, olive groves and tiny towns rich in history.

One of the great things about the lanes, trails and cycleways in Terres de l’Ebre is that they link the two nature reserves (The Ports and the Delta), and the most interesting agricultural areas in the region too.

Combining cycling with visits to local attractions and cultural sites is made easy by the interconnnectedness of all this in Terres de l’Ebre, and stays can be repeated or lengthened accordingly. Themed breaks designed for the special interests of the visitor result from this proximity: excursions to fruit orchards, vineyards and olive groves, or to see traditional fishing practices, cultural events and learn about heritage and historical memory are all within easy reach.

Some of the best known cycleways in Terres de l’Ebre are:

The track originated at the end of the XIX century, when the Aragon government sought to create a route to a seaport to export its goods. The railway was opened in 1942 and functioned for 31 years until it closed on 17 September 1973.
