The development of Greenways extends beyond the Spanish frontiers In 1998 the European Greenways Association (EGWA) was created in Belgium and since 2009 the Secretariat and Executive Offices have been located in Madrid at the Spanish Railways Foundation (FFE) Currently more than 50 member organizations from 16 countries support the EGWA wwwaevv-egwaorg
Among the main promoters of the Greenways Programme are the Ministry for the Environment the principal investor in the development of infrastructures the Spanish Railway Foundation (FFE) responsible for the national coordination and promotion of the project and the Railway Infrastructure Manager-Adif The active involvement of Regions and Town Councils as well as the enthusiastic contribution of cycling associations ecological and cultural organizations have made it possible to set the programme in motion and give life to 2200 km of Greenways
ldquoVIacuteA VERDErdquoreg is a quality brand restricted in Spain to the use of routes running over old railway lines All the Spanish Greenways are easily identified by their distinctive logo and signposting But the ldquoGreenwayrdquo concept goes much further The package also takes in the restoration of old stations which are being rehabilitated for the installation of related services and equipment Nearly 100 old railway stations have been restored as restaurants cafeacutes accommodation bicycle hire information centres small museums etc There are a host of possibilities from routes barely stretching for a few kilometres to urban trails and country tracks right up to itineraries of up to 200 kilometres All in all an original varied alternative for those who want to discover Spainrsquos rich landscapes and cultural sites in an easy environmentally friendly way
What are Viacuteas Verdes Greenways
ldquoViacuteas Verdesrdquo are old railway lines in disuse recovered as non-motorized routes for hikers and cyclists Of over 7600 km of disused railway lines that existed in Spain in 1993 nearly 2200 km have been converted into
113 Greenways running across Spain a number that is
growing every day They make an
attractive and sustainable
resource for the public to enjoy our natural environment and rich railway heritage Greenways make it easy to practice
active and healthy leisure
pursuits and encourage a
change of mentality in favour of sustainable
mobility The Greenways network is designed to make use of the railway lines on which they run offering maximum ease and comfort in their routes to ensure universal accessibility including those people with disabilities The ban on motorized traffic makes them very safe
Before going on a Greenway it is advisable to be well documented about the route in order to fully enjoy it detailed maps elevation maps surface types natural and historic attractions drinking fountains accommodation and restaurant serviceshellip This information is available in English on the FFE website at wwwviasverdescomen
