My last few 2018 vacation days are being spent for a week in Spain. I arrived yesterday to Barcelona airport, my husband, who was already in Spain for work picked me up, and we went straight to Tortosa. Today we then went to the Delta of the Ebro. We were here already quite exactly one year ago and liked the area. Back then I had also seen that it is a region recommended for cycling, so today we took that opportunity and rented some (quite bad) bicycles in a small place close to the largest lagoon of the delta.

The lagoon is a sanctuary for flamingos:

We cycled once around and even my husband mentioned that it was really nice. And it was. The cycle path is away from the streets, the weather was excellent and there are enough places to stop and watch birds along the route.

There are also more cycling paths through the delta, and at least where we were they were well indicated.
