4 Lost Railways of Spain

7 - 14 September 2024:

This holiday the history behind the railway lines that once ran through this area. Most of the rides are on the former railways themselves so are relatively flat. Lights will be needed as we cycle through many tunnels. The pace will be leisurely, and there will be the opportunity to stop frequently to talk about aspects of the railways.
