At Fontibre is the source of the river Ebro, after which the Iberian peninsular is named.
The Ebro flows all the way from here, high up in the Cantabrian Mountains near the Pico de Tres Mares, southwards towards the Mediterranean Sea, irrigating the vineyards of Rioja along the way.
In the village square, there’s a large relief map of the route.
