TREKKING
Spain offers a whole range of tracks and routes to practice trekking on the mainland as well as in the islands. They are
called Vías Verdes (Greenways). These Greenways have come about by converting unused railway lines into cycling
and walking routes. They are easy, accessible and far removed from motorized traffic. They pass through steep valleys, mountains, under ancient bridges and viaducts and through mysterious tunnels where trains once passed. Thus,
you can enjoy various landscapes from mountains to seacoasts and natural parks. Here are some of the main tracks
