Guadix-Almendricos Railway (Almendricos - Huercal Overa) Greenway
Guadix-Almendricos Railway (Almendricos - Huercal Overa) Greenway
Through wild mountain ranges, featuring the contrast between fruit and vegetable crops in an arid environment
This Greenway borders the spartan Enmedio mountain range, traces long straight lines crossed by successive riverbeds on the verdant horticultural plain and, meandering through the Huércal-Overa urban environment, finally winds around the slopes of the Sierrecica.
In the future, this Greenway will be the start (or end) section of the 216 km trail linking the Murcia Region and Granada Province through the Almanzora Valley in Almería, on the old Guadix-Almendricos railway line.
The Almendricos section has been developed by the the Murcia and Huércal-Overa Region's Ministry for Tourism and Culture by the City Council.
