Tunnel on the Alberche Greenway

Highlight • Structure

A tunnel carved into the rock that is part of a railway that never worked.

Today it is a hiking and biking route that takes you through bridges and tunnels like this one, following the course of the Alberche River and the Picadas Reservoir, right next to the San Juan Reservoir.
