Spain's Greenways, rail trails through nature

There are over 120 Greenways in Spain, offering a total of more than 2,900 kilometres of paths through natural settings. They can be found practically everywhere in the country (except for the Canary Islands), both inland and near the coast. The routes are very varied, going through both rural and urban areas, and their length can range from just five kilometres to well over 100 kilometres. There are also activities organised around the trails, such as sports events, photography workshops and cycle touring meetings. Routes accessible to all: the trails are all very flat, with slight curves and slopes always less than 3%, ensuring universal accessibility for anyone who wants to enjoy nature. Your age and fitness level are not important, and reduced mobility or any other disability does not have to hold you back.

For their comfort, safety, variety, and of course, their natural beauty. However, Greenways offer much more than nature. These former railway tracks have been prepared for sport use and are all clearly signposted. Furthermore, everything has been carried out with the greatest respect for the environment, integrating the routes in their natural setting. Along the trails, you will find panels explaining the main natural and cultural points of interest. The Greenways website also has a map of all the rail trails in Spain with detailed information on each one.
