Via Verde Route (The Green route)
Length:
34km outward
34km return
Accumulated Height Climb:
200m
Schedule:
over 2 days
1.We drive to Ronda where we will stop for lunch and then off to the start of the ride from a small village called Olvera.
2. The route is along an old railway track built before the Spanish Civil war and never finished and now developed for mountain biking and walking. It passes through the mountains with over 30 tunnels (these illuminate automatically as you pass through!), 5 old stations and 6 spectacular viaducts for 34km. The route passes along the Guadalete River and through the unique Zaframagón Vulture Reserve where numerous vultures circle overhead and is slightly downhill on the way out (slightly uphill on the way back but hardly noticeable)
3. We arrive in a small village called Puerto Serrano where we will stay overnight in a hotel. We will have a typical Spanish meal here.
4. The following morning we retrace our route back to the mini bus in Olvera for the trip back to the coast (Less than 2 hours)
N.B. There will be a surcharge of £30 for this excursion to cover 2 meals and hotel overnight.
