In our program this week we continue sharing stories that we brought back from Valencia Friendly City. Albert He explains to us a very special project that mixes health and the Eurovelo 8 route: PH Challenge EuroCycling. A European event that will be held along the Mediterranean Route (EuroVelo 8) from Cádiz to Athens; 5.888 KM in the fight against Pulmonary Hypertension. Evelyn Villegas He tells us about a trip through Europe. I present it as a communication at the La Bicicleta y la Ciudad congress with the title of the Beauty of the Simple. We introduce you to Antonio, to talk about his bike trip through Latin America and his relationship with the world of cycling. But as always we start by proposing a route. We want to talk to you about a Greenway, which has just been recovered and is part of a great project, the railway from Santander to the Mediterranean.
These are the contents of the latest program:
06:41 – Do you know the history of
Santander Mediterranean railway? Today we are going to the Soria section, to see a section converted into a Greenway by the Ministry of Agriculture within the
Natural Trails Program. From the city of Soria the Vía Verde takes us to Abejar, among oak and pine forests, Pinar Grande, Navaleno and San Leonardo de Yagüe, gateway to the fantastic Río Lobos Canyon. We can continue to Hontoria del Pinar in the province of Burgos.
