EXPLORING THE LANDS OF THE EBRO IN THE "DE LA GARBA" EVENT
The past 9th of April we were present at the La Garba as sponsors of the event. The perfect opportunity to discover and explore the wonderful Lands of the Ebro by gravel. A territory declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 2013.
The addition of 2022 of theLa Garba allowed to get to know the Natural Park of the Delta of the Ebro and the Natural Park of the Ports through three different routes. Lo Manoll (80km + 35m), La Garba (128km + 50m) y La Cabra (239km + 3.600m).
The three tests had as a common factor a non-competitive spirit where it was searched for enjoyment for all the cyclists, with a start and ending at Ampolla(Delta of the Ebro) and thought for Gravel, electric or MTB bikes.
The good weather, landscapes of the zone and tracks, worked conscientiously by the members of the organization, made that the participants enjoyed an epic cycling day.
