Amposta

Amposta, capital of the Montsià region, is one of the first important cities that pilgrims encounter on the Camino Jacobeo del Ebro. Situated by the river's banks, at the gates of the Delta, it is a large centre for services and a place with a deep fluvial character. Its symbol of identity is the impressive Hanging Bridge, an elegant structure from the early 20th century that saves the Ebro and has become the city's emblem. For walkers, Amposta offers a good opportunity to rest and provision, with a complete range of accommodation and dining options. The Museum of les Terres de l'Ebre allows visitors to understand the rich natural and ethnographic history of the region. A river stroll, under the bridge, is an ideal place to relax. In the context of the Camino de Santiago, it is a stop that consolidates the start of the route, leaving behind the more aquatic landscapes of the Delta to begin climbing the course of the great river through Catalan and Aragonese lands.
