Mountain biking

Between 1925 and 1974 there was a tram connection from Granada to the Sierra Nevada, and there were even plans to build a funicular up to 2,200 meters above sea level. However, the 24-kilometer-long tram line was dismantled as part of the construction work on the Canales dam. A tram car is on display at the El Dornajo visitor center today.

It is part of our history. In my childhood I remember the tram on the Paseo del Salon. I would like to be there again.
