アルバンチェスのおすすめランニングルート

アルマンソラ渓谷の中心にあるカントリアの町は、静かな雰囲気と、ヌエストラ・セニョーラ・デル・カルメン教会などのいくつかの見どころを組み合わせています。カントリアはまた、その職人の伝統と地域に点在する大理石の工房でも知られています。アルマンソラ川とその周辺には、穏やかな小道と渓谷の広々とした景色が広がっています。地元のカフェ、静かな広場、ゆったりとしたペースで、このアルマンソラ地方の町やルートを発見するための良い出発点です。

アルマンソラとカントリア間の区間にあるアルマンソラ渓谷の緑の道（La Vía Verde del Valle del Almanzora）は、非常に平坦な砂利道に沿って非常にアクセスしやすい散策路を提供しており、家族連れや静かなルートを探している人に最適です。ルート沿いには休憩に最適なピクニックエリアがいくつかありますが、日陰が非常に少ないため、水と日焼け止めを持参することをお勧めします。この小道は古い鉄道線路に沿っており、果樹園、半乾燥した風景、そして川と谷の開けた景色の中を進みます。

Beautiful via Verde with many views

VIA VERDE DEL VALLE DE ALMONZORA is a spectacular route of a total of 98 km through the southeast of the peninsula between the highlands of Granada in the Baza area towards the district of Almendricos, already in the region of Murcia, and passes through the Almanzora Valley in Almería. A route that for decades crossed a railway line that transported tons of iron and other merchandise.

The towns of Fines and Olula del Río are an encounter with the culture of marble; figures and pieces of marble with inscriptions and inspiring phrases appear on the old railroad track. In Olula there is the famous giant head of a woman, on the other side of the road, you have to be careful not to pass it by. And nearby is the town of Macael for those interested in visiting the “white gold” quarries of the Almanzora Valley. Purchena is far from the road, it is a town with an Andalusian feel, with narrow streets with whitewashed facades at the foot of the remains of an old Muslim fortress from the Nasrid era. The railway continues to trace the slopes of the valley and cross seasonal boulevards over imposing stone bridges to the Tíjola station, which preserves a train engine from the glorious era of the mining railway and the railway buildings. The station is a bar with food service and a terrace on one of the platforms. In Los Canos there are remains of the old iron ore loading dock. The carts arrived loaded with material by aerial cables from the mining sites and by simple gravity they filled the train cars that were in the tunnels located under the loading dock.

It is a pity that this station, which was once one of the most important on the line, has not been maintained and restored. Even so, pedaling through here evokes the importance that the railway once had in the entire area.

長さ80mのトンネルで、現在は照明が設置されており、2つのトレイルのルートの一部となっています。
