The experience

4 stages/4 nights self-guided route that begins in the city of Alcañiz, along the Camino Natural Vía Verde de la Val de Zafan to Tortosa, stopping and sleeping in the 3 old rehabilitated railway stations that currently exist along the route.

The steps that are performed are:

  1. Alcañiz – Old Torre del Compte Station
  2. Ancient Compte Tower Station – Ancient Cretes Station
  3. Ancient Crete Station – Ancient Benifallet Station
  4. Old Benifallet Station – Tortosa.

With approximately 25km each of them, the stages are designed to have time to perform them calmly and for their mileage, it is ideal to perform with children and / or people who want to start cycling. The Val de Zafan is the history of the railway that was intended to link Aragon with the Mediterranean Sea.

Two closures of the line, unfinished sections and the great Battle of the Ebro, are just some of the episodes that write and explain the history of this railway. Nowadays, with the old railway line converted into Greenway and Natural Way, it is reborn in new times to give life to new stories.
