Which reminds me of the rather young saying: “No fences make for excellent neighbors.”
As to the bike path: that photo made my legs itch. Old train tracks are an excellent resource for bike paths, at least for recreational riding. They are flat, because trains are unable to climb anything more than 2% or so. Plus no cars, perfect width, and (because they are established rather recently) often perfectly smooth pavement.
I’ve done a thousand km or so in both Spain, and across the alps. It’s almost as breathtaking as crossing the mountain passes, if you allow me to mix the literal and figurative meaning of the word.
- stevoski 8y agoCan you tell us what cycle paths in Spain are on former rail trails? I live in Spain and would love to experience some of these.

I finished at old Olvera station which has a bar serving very cold beer served in a frozen glass - heaven. The white hill-town of Olvera itself is also worth a visit: http://www.andalucia.com/rural/walking/viasverde-olvera.htm http://www.andalucia.com/rural/walking/viasverde-olvera.htm
