Ebro

The waters of the Ebro flow entirely through Spain. Specifically, they cover seven autonomous regions: Catalonia, Aragon, Navarre, Basque Country, La Rioja, Cantabria and Castile and Leon. It extends over 930 kilometres, making it the second longest river in Spain. However, it's most famous for being the river with the highest volume in the country. Aside from this, Ebro and its surroundings are a wonder of nature for several reasons. You can find out many of them by visiting the Delta de L'Ebre Natural Park, or touring the routes of Las Hoces del Alto Ebro y Rudrón Natural Park. The water of these two rivers flows between ravines and gorges in the northwest of Burgos, and comes out in springs such as the Fuente de Orbaneja.
