The Ebro has its source about 50km south of Santander and runs south to the Med. There is now a foot/ cyclepath the whole 1,000 km. The route is the GR99 and a guidebook is available. I have had experience of cycling in Spain on the pilgrim route to Santiago de Compostella and found the parts on roads not too enjoyable owing to traffic, and off-road not too cycle-friendly.
Thought people might be interested. I may give it a go later in the year but will avoid June, July, August owing to excessive heat.

Sounds very interesting - I am fairly certain I've cycled across the Ebro on a few occasions on the way to the Picos but will need to check this out! Thanks for the alert - the onset of middle-age demands investigation of easier interesting sounding option!
