Ebro (Ebre) is one of the most important rivers in the Iberian Peninsula. It is the biggest river by discharge volume in Spain. The hinterland climate becomes progressively more continental and drier,
and therefore there is an end from extreme temperatures accompanied by
slow-growing dwarf juniper species to unvegetated desert steppes as in
"llanos de Belchite" or "Calanda desert". Its source is in Fontibre (Cantabria), from the Latin words Fontes Iberis, source of the Ebro. The Ebro Delta (in Catalan: Delta de l'Ebre), in the Province of Tarragona, Catalonia, is one of the largest wetland areas (320 km²) in the western Mediterranean region.
The Ebro flows through the following cities: Reinosa, Frias, Miranda de Ebro, Haro, Logroño, Calahorra, Tudela, Alagón, Utebo, Zaragoza, Flix, Móra d'Ebre, Benifallet, Tivenys, Xerta, Aldover, Tortosa, Amposta. The main tributaries are Jalón, Gállego, Cinca-Segre, Aragó.
