A superb ride down the River Ebro from the Cantabrian Mountains to the Vineyards of La Rioja
A unique trip, following the River Ebro, the longest in Spain, as it flows from its source in the Cantabrian Mountains. It begins as a mountain stream flowing through green pastures and valleys, imposing canyons, vineyards, past pretty and unknown villages, As we cycle we perceive the changes in the landscape and the river itself. Finally we arrive in La Rioja, home of the finest Spanish wines. A sea of vineyards dotted with ancient villages, castles and wineries. A magnificent trip for those who wish to visit parts of Spain the tourists never see.
Highlights:
- fairytale village of Orbaneja del Castillo
- world famous vineyards and wine
- dramatic canyons of the Ebro river

We would recommend this trip to anyone. We are a couple in our late 50s, this was our fourth cycle holiday and the best so far. The scenery is incredible ranging from gorges and mountain ranges to fields of vineyards on arrival to the Rioja region. The local tour operators iberocycle were so helpful , the bikes were good, the cycle app was very user friendly and the information provided daily, relating to places to see or visit along the way was very apt. There were very few cars on the routes and the chosen hotels along the route were lovely. Just to note, you would want to be able to cycle, we were on hybrid bikes and there are hills !

This was a fabulous trip - the great weather helped. #iberocycle provided great support and plenty options for longer and shorter routes each day. Accommodation was also for the most part, in wonderful small rural hotels
