Besides its extensive network of trails, Aragon has other interesting routes such as old railway lines transformed into tourist routes (Vías Verdes) which can be enjoyed on foot, by bike or on horseback. There are three in Aragon: the Tarazonica , linking the towns of Tarazona and Tudela ; Ojos Negros-Sagunto , from the outskirts of the city of Teruel , crossing the Sierra de Javalambre ; and Val de Zafán , from Alcañiz to Tor- tosa , spanning Matarraña. Cycling and horse riding Horse riding enables you to get close to nature, in a man- ner which respects the environment. On horseback you can discover beautiful landscapes along a network of traditional paths, forest tracks, cattle trails, bridle paths and trails. Also, routes that would be long and hard to walk can be enjoyed on a mountain bike, enabling long distances to be covered in a single day. Mountain biking combines physi- cal activity with the pleasure of enjoying the landscape at a gentler pace than by car. Make sure you are adequately equipped and plan your route. Caving Aragon offers a wide range of opportunities for caving, a sport that uses techniques similar to those used in climb- ing to explore caves and grottoes. In the Pyrenees, particu- larly notable are the many caves of the Cotiella massif , in the vicinity of the Gistaín Valley .
