Description by the author

Este itinerario recorre la antigua línea de ferrocarril que conectaba Granada con Águilas (Murcia), conocida como el Ferrocarril del Almanzora. Tras el cierre de esta línea en 1985, únicamente permanecieron operativos los tramos inicial (Granada - Guadix) y final (Almendricos - Águilas). Sin embargo, el tramo intermedio entre Guadix y Almendricos, originalmente concebido para el transporte de mineral de hierro, quedó en desuso y hoy es el corazón de este fascinante Camino Natural.
El hierro que antaño marcó la vida de esta región ha dado paso a una ruta cicloturista impregnada de historia y paisajes únicos.
A lo largo de este recorrido, que sigue los pasos del mineral de hierro transportado durante décadas, se atraviesa el impresionante valle del río Almanzora, escoltado por las majestuosas sierras de Baza y los Filabres. A lo largo del itinerario, pequeños pueblos cargados de historia, con raíces que se remontan a la época de la Reconquista, se alzan a media ladera, realzando la belleza del entorno. Estaciones ferroviarias, antiguos cargaderos y numerosos puentes salpican el camino, ofreciendo al visitante una experiencia ferroviaria singular y evocadora, especialmente en el tramo que conecta Hijate con Olula del Río.
