Description
Discovering Tortosa and the Terres de l’Ebre on two wheels is a great way to enjoy the landscape at your own pace. Lo Sirgador’s bicycle hire in Tortosa service makes it easy to plan routes along the Val de Zafán Greenway and other cycle routes in the area, with different transport options available to simplify the logistics.
Bicycles are available in different sizes for adults and children, together with accessories to suit different needs. In addition, Lo Sirgador provides transport for cyclists and bicycles, making it possible to plan one-way routes without having to cycle back to the starting point.
Bicycle hire in Tortosa for exploring the area
Tortosa is ideally located for starting or finishing a variety of cycling routes. From the city, cyclists can access the Val de Zafán Greenway, a former railway line converted into a greenway that connects Tortosa with the Baix Ebre and Terra Alta regions before continuing towards Matarranya and Alcañiz.
Bicycle hire in Tortosa allows you to organise your route independently and adapt it to the time available and the distance you wish to cover. In this way, you can plan anything from a single day’s cycling to a multi-day journey.
In addition to the Greenway, Tortosa connects with other cycle routes leading towards the Ebro Delta, offering the opportunity to discover riverside landscapes, farmland and natural areas.
The Greenway from Tortosa
The Val de Zafán Greenway is one of the main cycle routes connected to Tortosa. It follows the former railway line through old stations, tunnels and viaducts, with landscapes that gradually change between the Ebro valley and the surrounding mountain areas.
Moreover, the gentle gradients of the former railway infrastructure make the Greenway particularly attractive for exploring the area by bicycle.
Lo Sirgador’s service makes it possible to adapt the logistics of the day by combining bicycle hire with different transport options. As a result, cyclists can plan the route according to their own preferences.
Cycling from Horta de Sant Joan to Tortosa
One of the highlighted options is the route from Horta de Sant Joan to Tortosa, covering approximately 44 km and following a predominantly downhill profile.
The route passes through some of the most representative landscapes of the Greenway, following the River Canaletes and taking in places such as Fontcalda, the former Benifallet railway station, Xerta and Aldover before reaching Tortosa.
For this reason, combining bicycle hire with transport is particularly convenient for this type of one-way route. Transport to the starting point can be arranged beforehand, followed by the return journey to Tortosa by bicycle.
Lo Sirgador also offers the option of combining bicycle hire with public transport to Horta de Sant Joan, subject to timetables and the availability of spaces for bicycles.
Transport for cyclists and bicycles
In addition to bicycle hire, Lo Sirgador offers a transport and collection service for cyclists and bicycles. This considerably increases the possibilities when planning a route.
Thus, routes can be organised with different starting and finishing points without requiring two private vehicles. The service can be adapted to different locations along the Greenway and other cycle routes in the area.
Transport prices depend on the distance and the number of people or bicycles. Therefore, conditions and prices should be checked according to the planned route.
A flexible service for planning your route
The service is available seven days a week, with flexible bicycle collection and return times.
Bicycles are available in different sizes and helmet hire is included in the price. In addition, accessories such as panniers and child seats can be added.
Bicycles can also be delivered to or collected from hotels in Tortosa, making the service particularly convenient for visitors staying in the city.
Finally, bicycle hire customers receive a 10% discount on River Ebro cruises aboard Lo Sirgador, making it possible to combine a cycling experience with a boat trip along the river.
