Camino del Ebro ; how to get to the starting point

[Plataman]

Hi All, I am starting the Camino del Ebro on or about Sept 20th, and I want to know if the best place to start is Tortosa or Deltebre? In a similar vein, what is the best way to get to either place from Barcelona train station? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I started in Deltebre. You can see how we got there in this thread. Train and cab were involved. We stayed in Riumar, which is the nearest developed place to Deltebre (the actual delta). We walked out to the mouth of the Ebro the day before we started walking, and then started walking the next day from Riumar. The first day or so had a lot of asphalt, but I thoroughly enjoyed this route. I did turn-off onto the Castellano-Aragonés a few days after Zaragoza, and that route is one of my all-time favorites.

@Plataman, are you planning to to Logroño or take the other option through Soria? I’ve never walked the route to Logroño, but I do love Logroño! Buen camino.

We took a train from Barcelona to L'ampolla-Perelló-Deltebre and then walked 14.5 km to Deltebre.

There is a coastal hiking trail stretching between Barcelona and Amposta, so there are multiple options for a starting point and how to get there.
