What are Vías Verdes /
Greenways?
“Vías Verdes” are old railway lines in disuse
recovered as non-motorized routes for hikers
and cyclists. Of over 7,600 km of disused
railway lines that existed in Spain in 1993,
nearly 2,200 km have been converted into
113 Greenways running across
Spain, a number that is
growing every day.
They make an
attractive and
sustainable
resource for the
public to enjoy
our natural
environment
and rich
railway
heritage.
Greenways
make it easy
to practice
active and
healthy leisure
pursuits and
encourage a
change of mentality
in favour of sustainable
mobility. The Greenways
network is designed to make use of the
railway lines on which they run, offering
maximum ease and comfort in their routes to
ensure universal accessibility, including those
people with disabilities. The ban on motorized
traffic makes them very safe.
The development of Greenways extends
beyond the Spanish frontiers. In 1998 the
European Greenways Association (EGWA)
was created in Belgium and since 2009 the
Secretariat and Executive Offices have been
located in Madrid, at the Spanish Railways
Foundation (FFE). Currently more than 50
member organizations from 16 countries
support the EGWA. www.aevv-egwa.org
“VÍA VERDE”® is a quality brand, restricted in
Spain to the use of routes running over
old railway lines. All the Spanish Greenways
are easily identified by their distinctive logo
and signposting. But the “Greenway” concept
goes much further. The package also takes
in the restoration of old stations which are
being rehabilitated for the installation of
related services and equipment. Nearly 100
old railway stations have been restored as
restaurants, cafés, accommodation, bicycle
hire, information centres, small museums, etc.
There are a host of possibilities: from routes
barely stretching for a few kilometres, to
urban trails and country tracks, right up to
itineraries of up to 200 kilometres. All in all,
an original, varied alternative for those who
want to discover Spain’s rich landscapes
and cultural sites in an easy, environmentally
friendly way.
Among the main promoters of the
Greenways Programme are the Ministry for
the Environment, the principal investor in the
development of infrastructures, the Spanish
Railway Foundation (FFE), responsible for
the national coordination and promotion of
the project, and the Railway Infrastructure
Manager-Adif. The active involvement
of Regions and Town Councils, as well as
the enthusiastic contribution of cycling
associations, ecological and cultural
organizations, have made it possible to set
the programme in motion and give life to
2,200 km of Greenways.
Visit Spain, enjoy Vías Verdes !
Before going on a Greenway it is advisable
to be well documented about the route in
order to fully enjoy it: detailed maps, elevation
maps, surface types, natural and historic
attractions, drinking fountains, accommodation
and restaurant services… This information is
available in English on the FFE website at
www.viasverdes.com/en/
And don’t forget to visit our “Travel Guides” and
watch our videos on YouTube.
