In Spain the Spanish Railways Foundation operates more than 60 green trails Vias Verdes serving to cyclists, hikers, horse-riders and other users. Trails originated so far in the third of 7.000 km lonely railway routes in this country. Along green trails the former railway stations are adaptated into hotels and pensions, restaurants or information centres. Vias Verdes interweave territory of the whole Spain and make the territories not damaged by mass tourism accessible. They offer an unique possibility of combination of active and learning tourism connected with sightseeing of historical places and unforgottable sceneries.
The Spanish Railways Foundation issues guides of Spanish green trails Guía de Vias Verdes, with suggested trails of trips, trail profiles, maps etc. (for the present only in Spanish), booklets of indivudual green trails are to be got in local information centres.
