A popular circular route starting from Amposta spans 66 km with minimal elevation gain, allowing riders to enjoy fresh air and sunlight while pedaling through serene landscapes.

The Experience This activity involves cycling along greenways and nature trails through flooded rice fields and protected zones, listening to birdsong and the soft rustle of wind through wet vegetation. Options range from half-day self-guided rentals to guided tours lasting 3–4 hours, some including stops for tasting local breads and traditional products from the Delta. The blend of nature and regional cuisine creates a full sensory journey.
