Hiking and cycling route along the Vía Verde de los Alcores
The Vía Verde de Los Alcores recovers the old railway line popularly known as the "Tren de los Panaderos" (Baker's Train), which linked the region with Seville for decades. In its journey through the El Viso del Alcor area, this natural path borders the plateau cornice, crossing agricultural areas of olive groves, cereals, and small clusters of stone pine forests.
