Source of the Ebro River

It’s often said that the source of the River Ebro, the largest river in Spain, is in Fontibre near Reinosa. Fontibre is a village in the municipality of Hermandad de Campo de Suso, 900 meters above sea level. It must be pointed out that the waters that flow from this spring come from underground and from the river Híjar, which rises in the upper Campo Valley at the foot of Pico Tres Mares.

Anyway, Fontibre is still considered the official source of the Ebro and a recreational area and interpretation center were built around this fact. There are tables for picnics, different paths and, above all, clear waters and lush vegetation which gives the place a unique sense of green.
