Once we have crossed the bridge we will head to the Ecomuseum, a mandatory stop if we want to discover and understand a little more about the territory and its natural wealth. After this interesting visit we will begin the final stretch of this route to head towards the mouth of the Ebro River, where we can enjoy a magnificent place unique to our territory. Remember to bring good binoculars and go up to the Zigurat viewpoint (the highest built in the Ebro Delta) where you will enjoy a panoramic view of the mouth and the Garxal wetland.
