There are approximately 117 in our country. Now that the good weather is beginning to appear, a recommendable and quiet option may be to explore these spectacular outdoor trails. A good option is a good walk, so we leave you before starting These tips for hiking.
More than 2,000 kilometers of greenways distributed throughout the country. They are perfect for practicing, as I said, on foot, by bike or even on horseback. Do you know them all?
The Bear Path (Asturias)
Probably one of the best-known greenways in Spain and the best-known in Asturias. Built on the route of an old mining train, it is approximately 36 km long. It crosses the municipalities of Quirós, Santo Adriano, Proaza and Teverga. Perfect to do with children due to its low slope.
This route, almost entirely green, has two other attractions. They are Paca and Tola, two brown bears at the foot of the route who live in a four-hectare fenced enclosure.
There are 2 very different routes, both from Tuñón.
- Section 1: Tuñón - Cueva Huerta (approximately 30 km)
- Section 2: Tuñón - Ricabo (approximately 29 km)
Ah! And if you are thinking about going by bicycle and you don't have one, we recommend contact these companies.
Black eyes (Castellón - Valencia)
With a length of 160 kilometers, it is the longest national greenway. That is why it is divided into two sections. The recommended section is the one that connects the provinces of Castellón with Valencia of about 67 km.It owes its name to the old mine called "black eyes" where km 0 of the path is located.
We can enjoy this route from Barracas (Castellón), to Algimia de Alfara in Valencia. Sagunto stands out as it passes, although you have to deviate a little from the road and the Salto de la Novia.
Likewise you can also contact these companies for information.
Sierra de la Demanda (Burgos)
Its 52 kilometers link Arlanzón with Monterrubio de la Demanda on what was the track of an old mining railway from the 19th century. It is perfectly signposted and there is some sloped section where if you go by bicycle, you will probably have to get off and go on foot. Still, it is suitable for the whole family and ages. It also has an enviable variety of fauna and flora
Also very close is the Atapuerca site, just a few kilometers from Arlanzón. What a blast!
For us, these are the three most spectacular greenways in Spain for their fauna and flora, their surroundings and their ease. Although as I say, there are more than 100 spread throughout the national territory. Which ones have you tried? Which ones do you know?
