Spain
Along the Ebro Canyon
This day is all about the green side of Las Merindades and the Ebro river that finds its way between the cliffs and rocks. We discover a small peace of the nature's beauty here in Las Merindades, ended in an unique village.
Hike near the Ebro river
To fully immerse ourselves in the nature of Las Merindades, we decided to go to the Tornos Canyon, a beautiful piece of nature in this Spanish region. Covered with a green blanket of fauna and flora, it is nothing compared to what you are used to with the Spanish nature in the south, with more desert-like landscapes. Under a nice sun, we put on our hiking boots for this 12 km and 300 meters altitude hike. The walk is dominated by the Ebro river that guides you between the cliffs and rocks to beautiful viewpoints. For those who are afraid of heights, some fears will have to be solved here. Some passages run along small mountain paths on the edge of a cliff, it is a walked path but keep in mind that some hiking experience and no fear of heights are problematic. The walk starts at the mini village of Tudanca de Ebro, where you can park the car along the water under the trees. You immediately enter an authentic setting with a small beach along the Ebro, where you can enjoy some refreshment after the walk. Besides a few locals, we were the only tourists who could enjoy this scene.

Orbaneja del Castillo
The last destination of this day is Orbaneja del Castillo. A small village that is unique because of its waterfall coming out of the village and the cliffs that surround it. One more funny thing about those cliffs, everyone sees two kissing camels in the rocks, can you spot it too?
