End up diving in the sea in the l’Ametlla area! This is a route of about 80 km long which allows you to travel through different corners and landscapes of Terres de l'Ebre. You will start and end up in a marine municipality,but you will also follow the Ebro, obtaining a great view of the surroundings of Ribera, and you will also cross a mountain, where the section of the Sierra de Cardó is mainly highlighted.

The starting point is set in l'Ametlla de Mar, since the route starts right near the sea, an aspect that makes it an itinerary of landscape contrasts. Then, this itinerary continues towards Tivissa along the unknown Gavadà road, being the point that requires more physical resistance, since it has sections of more than 500 meters of positive height difference. Leaving this village of medieval physiognomy behind, you start the road to Ginestar, where the landscape of road and mountain gives way to a landscape of the Ebro. Following the river, you can see the surroundings of Ribera and also the municipalities that are on the other side of the river, such as Benissanet and Miravet. In this second one, the views of the Templar castle located on the heights of the town are highlighted. After the stretch of river, the route continues to Rasquera and, from there, it crosses part of the Sierra de Cardó. Afterwards, it is the turn to cross the small mountain of Les Colladetes, while it goes towards the Perelló and finally turns towards l'Ametlla de Mar.
