Walking in the Spanish Hill's

One of the many things I do enjoy is getting out and about walking , and exploring new areas and seeing new things. Which is one of the many great things about Spain the landscape is just stunning and varied.
Been based near Albox in Spain means we are slightly in land here at European relocation services and in the foot hills which offer some great walks.

The nearest route from our base for example is an old railway line which on one stretch alone runs besides the currently dry (Rio ) Ramba river the route is flanked by slopes and the descent to the river bed, and is home to numerous birds including grouse and mammals like the rabbits (a very common sight on this route ) it is also home to plenty of plants including the Lavender . It even pass through a cutting where you can see the different ages of the Earth in the form of different shades of the rock including some that are a dramatic red. On the two occasion I have so far covered this stretch I have been accompanied by a nice gently breeze and bird song. And add into the mix on this route the old Railway bridge



(not advisable to cross I instead took the path that leads to the dry river bed ) and before you reach the bridge the old railway tunnel which is at most 150 metres long you have a nice and enjoyable route.

To sum up this walk it is an easy route that any body can do with comfort. And a enjoyable way to spend a few hours soaking in the landscape and Spanish sun  (not suitable for pushchairs or wheel chairs due to the nature of the surface been large gravel pieces )
Roughly from Los Carasoles to Almajalejo

(This path is part of the old Railway of the Almanzora the Lorca -Baza  section which closed in 1985 )
The dry river bed is also a walkable route in itself and offer some interesting sights
