NATURA 2000 NETWORK Spain's great biodiversity makes it the country which contributes the greatest net surface area to Natura 2000, the world's largest network of protected areas. These includehundredsof Special Protection Areas for Birds (SPAs) and Special Areas of Conservation (SACs), where you'll be able to enjoy respectful and sustainable contact with nature.

GREENWAYS Take the challenge of exploring Spain in a different and original way. Greenways are rail trails that make picturesque routes which follow disused railway lines and can be found throughout the country. Old, wooden railway sleepers have been recycled as kilometre posts and to construct railings. These trails, with gentle gradients and broad bends, are especially suitable for hikers, cyclists and people with reduced mobility.
