Iron Greenway
The Almanzora Greenway, known as Iron Greenway as it passes through Seron, is the old Guadix-Almendricos railway line, nowadays in disuse.
On the Iron Greenway you can enjoy 11.8 kilometers with a minimal slope, which makes it easy for anyone, whatever their level, and makes it an ideal stretch to be done on foot or by bicycle. Along the way we will find three abandoned iron ore loading sites, hence the name of this section of the Almanzora Greenway.
