The Camino de Santiago del Ebro traces the river upstream from its mouth at Deltebre to Logroño, where it joins the Camino Francés. Roman in origin, it served French and Italian pilgrims who came ashore on the Mediterranean.
The terrain is a mostly flat valley, a landscape of orchards, vineyards and Aragonese steppe. Ideal for anyone wanting a comfortable, uncrowded route with one constant thread to follow.
Who it's for
For anyone after a flat, peaceful route alongside the river.

View stage →Plan your daily stages
Choose which stage you start from, how many days you have and at what pace; we split the stages into days balanced by effort (distance and elevation). You can save, share or print your plan.
17 days · ≈ 432 km in total
This split is not realistic on foot: at least one day goes over 42 effort units (kilometres plus climb). Add days or start closer to Santiago (from Sarria, for instance, if you have less than a week).
An indicative split by effort (distance + elevation). It does not guarantee accommodation at each stop: check each stage and its hostels before finalising your plan.
✦ Add stamps to your digital credential
Save this route to your account, mark each stage you complete and earn your virtual Compostela when you reach Santiago. Free.
The stamps and the digital credential are a keepsake from Santiago Plan, with no official validity: they are not the pilgrim credential and do not replace the physical stamps collected at hostels and churches to obtain the Compostela at the Cathedral.
