Cycling in Spain
Cycling in Spain is a wonderful pastime as the country is vast and beautiful
with many extremely quiet and relatively traffic and pollution free roads.
However in addition to the normal highways and byways Spain also has a wonderful system
of Via Verdes, or Greenways, which are disused railway tracks that
have been renovated and turned into
cycling and walking tracks. There are around 1,500 kilometres of Greenways throughout Spain (more than 58 tracks),
of varying length. They have all been carefully prepared to provide an
excellent surface for cyclists, walkers, horse riders, elderly people and children
and even mobility impaired people. They allow you to explore some wonderful
hidden corners of Spain far away from traffic, noise and pollution.
Passing through diverse scenery, depending on the via Verde in question, you will
discover amazing valleys and mountains, impressive bridges and viaducts

There are fifteen other greenhorns or tender foots with me.
Most of my comrades are city folk.
Sure we've all seen a horse but it was on TV or at the parade.
Today we get to experience the real thing.
The question that flashes through my mind is whether I am ready to learn to saddle that wild snorting beast.The door opens and in steps the lead hand.
