It has a few too many commercial offering links, but does list some very interesting ideas for hikes.

Good article. I did not know there is a gr10 in Spain and another gr10 in France. Confusing.

The GR99 and the Camino del Ebro often overlap, but they often diverge as well. Last week I had to keep a good lookout for the less well marked camino arrows, as it was almost always shorter than the GR - for example, the camino goes "overland" almost due north from Benifallet to Caspe (3-4 days), while the Ebro and GR99 make a huge eastern semi-circle, probably doubling the distance.

I started my last Camino in SJPdP early September and on my first night, at Beilari Alburgue, I met 3 Aussie women doing the GR 10. Amazing to talk to them about it. Because I had walked in 2011 I could compare the Camino with what they were walking.

The "GR" routes are fine - and, as Alan said [above] they often overlap with the camino on the Ruta del Ebro. Be very careful of cyclists when on the GR routes - especially on local bank holidays! There can be literally hundreds of them!
Mind you, where the camino and GR routes overlap, they are well kept tidy and easily traversed.









Full details and many photos of the Ebro route on my web . Here are just two - where a GR route - the Via Verde - coincides with the camino...
Buen camino!
