The Via Verde de las Sierra is a dedicated cycle and walkway on the foundations of an old disused railway line. Starting from the town of Olvera, it weaves between the Mountains of South Sevilla and Cádiz following the steady descent designed for a train until you reach the town of Puerto Serrano 36.5km away. 

This edition of the Via Verde is a reduced 21 km bike ride from Olvera to Coripe. We run this shorter route in the summer for those who want a shorter ride and finish before the midday heat sets in.

The route will include 20 tunnels and you will still pass the Vulture Interpretation Centre at Zaframagón.

Leisure Cycling Classifications

Terrain

As a dedicated cycle path the terrain is usually in good condition, however some sections require a little caution. The route is traffic-free (except for service and authorised vehicles) but there are some crossing sights which are well signposted.

Distance and Grade

The route is only 21km (13 miles) but naturally follows the slow and steady descent of a train line so there are very few uphill sections.
