Rodando hacia El Delta

We leave Tortosa on the C-42 between the Ebro river, the channel on the left (which provides water to the delta rice fields) and the railroad. Upon reaching the Marjal de Campredó, a wetland located in the industrial estate, we will leave the plain of the Ebro valley, ascending in search of the 'Argiler d'en Cervero' and the pond of the same name, and from here, descending a long straight towards the Village, opening before us, the view of the enormous deltaic plain. Once here, we make the decision to continue along the N-340a, to the right or to the left:

- On the right: Tortosa-Amposta Tortosa (short version), the road takes us to Amposta surrounded by orchards, passing by the Torre de Burjassénia and the Torre de la Candela, belonging to the strategic network of defense towers of the mouths del Ebro and then crossing the river through the Amposta suspension bridge, which was the second suspension bridge in the world built in reinforced concrete after the Brooklyn Bridge.

- On the left: Rolling towards the Delta (long version), the road takes us into the Ebro delta in the direction of Deltebre, in the heart of the delta, surrounded by rice fields to cross the river towards Sant Jaume d'Enveja, by the Passador bridge, inaugurated in 2010. Until then, the more than 200 meters wide, they were crossed by means of barges. The route continues between rice fields, towards Amposta, giving us an idea of ​​the size of the delta, more than 320 km2 of surface, and where our greatest enemy will be the wind.

Once in Amposta, the route continues along the Carrova road, a name that comes from the defense tower of the same name, declared a cultural asset of national interest, located near the road.

On the road surrounded by orchards and rice fields, we reach Tortosa crossing the Mil.lenari bridge, with a length of 380 m and a height of 22 m above the river.
