The Ebro Way of St. James (Camino de Santiago del Ebro, also known as the Camino Jacobeo del Ebro) is a symbolic route in Spain. The route offers magnificent views of the Ebro Delta, passing through spectacular landscapes of Terra Alta, the arid areas of Bajo Cinca and Bajo Ebro or next to the great Mequinenza Reservoir.
Understand
[edit]
The Ebro Way of St. James begins at the mouth of the Ebro – specifically at a monument elevated on a small dune, dedicated to the virgins of the Jacobean Route – and continues uphill along the course of the river from which it takes its name. In the city of Logroño it joins the French Way that comes from Roncesvalles. The Camino de Santiago del Ebro is very well signposted and runs in many sections along the GR-99 route, known as the Camino del Ebro. Its central axis is the city of Zaragoza and its Basilica del Pilar. This route is very pleasant in terms of slopes but hard in terms of shadows, which are scarce in all stages. It is considered an easy route to do by bicycle and has accommodation and hostels in all possible stages.
Prepare
[edit]See the Way of St. James for prepare instructions.
The Ebro Way of St. James is not as popular as the French way, so there is seldom infrastructure dedicated to pilgrims available, such asalbergues or pilgrim menus in restaurants.
