  • The Via Verde is a diused railway track that is now a fabulous bike track. Along its 36 km course the Via Verde de la Sierra boasts 30 tunnels, the longest being the Castillo at 990m; 4 viaducts of which the Coripe at 237m is the longest; and 5 railway stations, 3 of which at Puerto Serrano, Coripe and Olvera have been restored as hotels. The station at Zaframagon is now a Nature information centre and the one at Navalagrulla is scheduled for restoration. The Antigua Estacion Ferrocarril Hotel at the Olvera end of the Via Verde has bicycles for rent at 9€ for 4 hours and 12€ for the day and bikes can also be rented at Coripe.
