      Amazing experience
      It is a beautiful bike ride. The scenery is amazing and the service of Matarraña aventura even more. If you want to enjoy beautiful scenery in combination with beautiful places to take a swim and cross around 40 tunnels to experience complete darkness and cool off then you will love this tour. You will not regret it 😊

      Viva Via Verde! A must in Aragon!
      We were 14 Swedes visiting Beceite, Aragon and were fortunate to choose Matarrãna Aventura for arranging a bike tour on Via Verde. The friendly and very service minded guides picked us up at the hotel and drove us to their shop in Cretan. There they set us up with very good bikes, helmets, maps and spares. After a thorough check that everything worked ok and were tuned to the rider we were off. The tour we had chosen was 48km and was a smooth ride as almost the whole trip was downhill. Even our two youngest, 10 and 12 had no problem to enjoy the day. A fantastic tour! The nature is so beautiful, very scenic all the way and no cars as Via Verde is an old railroad track. When we arrived in Xerta we were picked up and driven to our hotel, the excellent Hotel Font del Pas. Everyone was super happy with the day and we can not recommend this trip enough. 5 strong stars! Both for the experience and the service. It is a “must” when you visit the area.

      Very exciting and must do cycle route!
      The Via Verde by bicycle from Cretas to Xerta is a must do. The route is very beautiful with very diverse landscapes (from cycling throughout the mountains to a more flat route near a river). And everybody can join, because it is downhill. You will pass beautiful lakes or pooles to swim in. Because the route used to be an old railway you will see old railway stations and, this was our highlight; you will cycle through old railway tunnels, this was very exciting. You can arrange an mountainbike with all the equipement needed via Matarrana Ventura and they will bring you back to Cretas (which is the start point). They are a very friendly and nice organisation. We will definitely come back some day!

      Via verde 42km
      We took our kids on this cycle ride (6 and 8 years old). The scenery was amazing and varied with fun swimming spots. The service was excellent with lots of care taken to maximise the enjoyment. 42km is a lot for our kids but it is a gentle downhill pretty much all the way - a great confidence boost for them to say that they cycled 42km. Thanks so much Matarrana Aventura. Richard and family

      Excellent service and friendly staff
      We rented four mountainbikes at Matarraña Aventura to make the 42 km trip on the Via Verde. The bikes were adjusted to the right size while we received the proper equipment( lock, light, helmets). Then we got an explanation what to expect on the Via Verde and some tips and tricks. Very relaxed atmosphere. The trip was fantastic! Nice views, refreshing swimming spots in the river and about half way a splendid renovated trainstation in which they opened a bar/restaurant with old bicyclewheels at the ceiling for the lighting. At the end of the trip we were picked up at exactly the agreed time. We definately want to come back some day!

      Great bike trip - downhill all the way!
      We hired three very well maintained very well geared bike for a day cycling down the Via Verde from Cretas to Tortosa. I was initially apprehensive as it was much further than I had cycled before, but it genuinely is downhill all the way down the old railway track route (apart from a couple of very short detours from the original route which were easily copeable with) and I had no problems. The pickup from Tortosa and drive back worked well. Because we were late in the season, none of the marked restaurants were open for lunch, but we had taken snacks which probably worked better than a big lunch. The numerous tunnels added interest to a very beautiful scenic route - lights are needed. The section after Xerta is less beautiful, and there are a couple of detours where it is possible to get lost, but still worth doing if you have time. Thoroughly recommended.

      Undiscovered Gem of Spain
      Wow. We rented bikes from Matarrana Aventura and rode the Cretas to Prat de Compte route -- two adults and two kids ages 12 and 15. It's a downhill route through the most beautiful countryside. Wear your swimsuit and take a dip in the river. Stop at Bot for a 2 Euro beer. Javier picked us up in the van, and what a wonderful young man with great English. He has built a terrific business! We were privileged to be just the second American family Javier had ever met. Thank you, Javier, for a wonderful day and a great bottle of wine :)

      Lovely bike ride with a delicious meal at the end
      We repeated our ride from Cretas to Prat del Compte which has the advantage of being almost completely downhill. From there Javier picked us up and brought us back to Cretas where we had booked a delicious seafood paella at L'Era restaurant in Cretas. As others have said the scenery in this area is mind blowing. When we did this ride with other friends in late October, there was a fog which covered the valleys so the views were obscured. This time the sun shone brightly and sun cream had to be applied! On this occasion I could not complete the ride but I rang and I was picked up from a previous station and brought back to Cretas. This meant the rest of my party was running late but this was not a problem for Matarraña Aventura. The meal at L'Era is not offered with Mattaranya Aventura but it is simple to book. The staff speak English and the friendliness and helpfulness of the local people shines through. I would recommend this adventure very much.

    Very good service from the person who attended and picked us up. The excursion we did was from Cretes to Pinel. Almost the entire section is lowered, without difficulty. I recommend going early to avoid crowding at departure and pickup at 15:30, so you can make the route by making stops and you can take a dip in the Fontcalda. The beautiful landscape and tunnels add an extra.

    Very cool. We made it with bocileta, one day, from Prat de Compte to Benifallet and the other from Horta San Joan to Prat dr Compte., easy and comfortable route, you pass by very beautiful places. We recommend to deviate a little from the greenway and visit the Fontcalda.
    Especially wearing a front because in some tunnels the light does not work.

    They were very nice to us. They equipped us with the necessary material to do the route (flashlights, helmets, chain to tie the bicycles). In addition, they explained the itinerary and places of interest to us very well. They were very punctual in the pick-up. We will repeat the next years!

    Excellent day enjoying the bike, the landscape and the baths in the pools to the fullest. It is worth highlighting the treatment of both Carlos and Rafael who guide you and explain everything related to the greenway and surroundings to you in an extraordinary way, so that you can spend a day wonderful! and they succeed! Thank you Rafael, for telling me so many things and for, from a distance, being attentive along with your friends, so that everything goes well!! a pleasure!!! I will return!!

    Beautiful experience, recommended 100%, the landscapes, the sounds, the aromas of the forest... we have been able to enjoy with the 5 senses! Not to miss the opportunity to do so. The company took 10, we rented the bikes that were in perfect condition and hired the pickup service. All excellent.

    Great welcome, well organized and very nice.
    Clear explanations
    Schedules are respected.
    Good advice to prolog the visit of the area, we were then visiting one of the most beautiful villages in Spain just 10 minutes thanks to their advice.
    Speak very good French.
    Thank you for that.

    The experience was very good, from the beginning, the activity technicians gave us an explanatory briefing of about 20 minutes about what we would see during the route and safety measures.
    We later started the route and had a fantastic time. Everything and we did it at about 40 degrees of temperature due to a heat wave and between 09:30 and 1:30 p.m., as the route was half-shaded and with a favorable slope (downhill), fatigue was not noticeable, in addition Inside the tunnels it was cool. Not a tiring route at all.
    The views are beautiful. The very correct organization at the time of collection. We will repeat another summer when we return.

    We cycled along the via verde for almost 30 km which gave us a view on many different landscapes. The bikes are in good condition and repair kits are given to you in the unlikely event of a puncture. The pickup service allows for a great variety in scenery and time to take in the beautiful nature at your own pace.

    The collection of bicycles and equipment was very quick (everything was prepared) and we were informed of both the route and the protocol for action during it, including stops for views or pools, in addition to those for supplies. The route is of incredible natural beauty and is suitable for all audiences (even if they do not normally cycle). The collection for the return was perfect and super punctual. Very professional and friendly. We loved it, so we will definitely repeat.
