The best MTB trails around Coripe

This water is delicious. When I was little, they said it was good for my appetite.

I always drank from this fountain as a child, but in 2020 I was advised not to do so. They refused to give me the reason no matter how many times I asked.

After cycling for about twenty kilometres, you will arrive at the Peñon de Zaframagón mountain point. The mountain is inhabited by the griffon vulture. You can recognise the bird – if you see it up close – by its ‘fur collar’ around its otherwise bare neck. Entire families live on this 600-metre-high mountain. Dozens of birds soar high through the air in search of prey. They have chosen the location cleverly, because the mountain is situated on a gorge with a river. Sometimes a huge shadow of a bird falls over you when it is hovering just above you. That gives a strange feeling that makes you quickly look up. A little further on is a small nature museum that is particularly proud of its special camera with which you can spy on the birds. You can zoom in, which allows you to count almost every feather.

The Tunel del Castillo is one of the most remarkable tunnels on the Via Verde de la Sierra in Andalusia, Spain. This tunnel is 990 meters long and is located between Puerto Serrano and Olvera. It is one of the thirty-three tunnels that you can find on this route and offers a unique experience, especially because it is dark and you can appreciate the nature and the surroundings in a different way.

The Via Verde de la Sierra is a beautiful green route in Andalusia that starts in Puerto Serrano and ends in Olvera. This 36-kilometre route follows an old railway line that was built in the early 20th century between Jerez de la Frontera and Almargen.

The route is ideal for both walking and cycling and passes through several tunnels and viaducts, making it a unique experience. Along the way you will pass through smaller villages and peaceful landscapes, making it perfect for a relaxing adventure in nature.
