A Greenway is an old railroad line that has been rehabilitated as a track for cycle tourism. This proposal of the Ojos Negros Greenway includes detours to get to know elements of great scenic, cultural and gastronomic value that are close to the original route. The Ojos Negros Greenway is the longest in Spain and we propose the following options to customize your trip depending on the number of stages:
