Vías Verdes (literally, "green-ways") are old disused railway lines that have been recovered and reconditioned for use by walkers and cyclists. Exploring them is a different, enjoyable and environmentally friendly way of getting to know Spain, its culture and its landscapes.
Ojos Negros II is a recently opened Greenway which starts off with a comfortable walk (or ride) through a gently undulating landscape in which the railway curves this way and that. At Km 1.8 and Km 3.1 the trail crosses the Jaquesa and Chopo streams over a couple of nearly identical viaducts, both 50m long and in a perfect state of repair.
The second part of this fascinating route along the Sierra Menera mining railway line starts where the first part left off, near the border between the provinces of Castellón and Teruel, 6 km away from the town of Barracas in Catellón. The starting point can be reached by taking the turn-off for the Camino de Fuen del Cepo on the N234 road.
