Via Verde Safari
This route is 36 km of disused railway line which is maintained by the local authority for safe cycling, hiking, horse riding and is a tarmac/dirt track mix.
You will ride through tunnels (30 of them, the longest being just under 1km) and along splendid viaducts with amazing scenery. Approximately half way along the track you should stop at the Penon de Zaframagon Nature Reserve which lies at the fotothills of the Grazalema range.
Installed in the old station of Zaframagon is a video monitoring system for vulture nests. Despite covering a relatively small area, the Penon is one of great ornithological interest because it provides a home to the largest nesting colony of Griffon vultures in western Andalucia which is one of the largest in Europe. Its height, isolation and jagged shape makes the crag an ideal breeding site for the vultures and provides shelter for other bird species and mammals. There are many pic-nic areas and some restaurants along the route.
