A cycle tour that takes us along the final stretch and mouth of the Ebro River, the Garxal pond and the town of Riumar. We start on the river promenade, where we take the cycle path that we follow to the Zigurat viewpoint, from where we enjoy good views of the mouth, the island of Buda, the island of Sant Antoni and the Garxal pond. We turn left, leaving the river behind and the Garxal lighthouse on the left. We continue along a dirt track; two wildlife viewpoints (the second largest and adapted) allow us to observe the fauna present in the Garxal pond. We arrive in Riumar and follow the seafront promenade next to the beach. At the end of the promenade, we turn left, go around the entire urbanization and, after some rice fields, we arrive at the port of Deltebre and, then, at Muntell de les Verges. The itinerary can also be done on foot.

The Ebro Delta is the largest aquatic habitat in Catalonia. The river, the sea, bays, beaches, dunes, salt marshes, riverside forest, ponds and gullies form its natural landscape which, with the rice fields and the vegetable garden, host a rich biodiversity. The uniqueness of the Delta is expressed in its physical and natural reality and also in its particular culture, heritage, history and traditions. The Delta is an inspiring example of how we can maintain a balance between sustainability and development to continue enjoying a fair and acceptable lifestyle.
