E'BRO (Lot. /lirriisl. One of the largest rivers of rising in the Province of San tander. in the north central part of the erran
try. on the southern slope of the Cantabrian Mountains (Map: Spain. E 2). After a tor tuous eourse in a southeasterly direction of about 450 miles. if empties into the Mediter ranean at Cabo de Tortosa. It drains an area of about 30.000 square miles, and has a delta which extends far into the sea. Its mouth is choked up 'with sand, and, to render it navi gable. a canal called the an Carlos has been carried through the southern side of the delta. Its principal affluents are the Najerilla, Jahin, Iluerva, and Guadalope from the right, and the Aragon, Gallego, and Scgre from the left, which drain the southern slopes of the Pyrenees. The (nurse of the Ebro is chiefly through narrow and sometimes rocky valleys: its bed is characterized by many shoals and rapids which interrupt the navigation. This is partly remedied, however, by means of the Imperial Canal, which extends from the vicinity of Tildela to a point 40 miles below Saragossa, the principal city on the river.
