Spain home of Wildlife

Did you know that Spain is one of Europe's most biodiverse countries and the region of Andalusia due to it's year round warmth with areas like the Almonzora Valley averaging 20 degrees even in Winter , is Spain's most biodiverse region (this is also partly due to how close parts of the region are to Africa )

Just one ( sorry if your scared of Spiders) example of this diversity a (slightly scary example) is the 1700 species of Spiders found in the region
And don't get me started on the size of the Ants
And you can find the Dung beetle here the same one as in Africa that lives on Elephant Droppings

And this level of biodiversity is not just the Fauna but the Flora as well from the famous lemon (Limon ) orange and olive trees of the region and the many vegetable that are grown here to the wild plants

And the region is of course home many fish ( see my other blog article on this link here ) and plenty of Birds 

And when it comes to mammals in areas like the Pyrenees their are European brown bears and in certain areas of Spain their are Lynx's and thought out most of Spain their are wild boars.
And the only area in Europe that the rabbit should be is Spain and Portugal they where introduced to the rest of Europe by the Romans for their meat.

We also can provide coverage to the Balearic islands

back to the old Railway and into the Hill in Spain

Once again this walk takes us back on to the old railway line from our First walk just in the opposite direction this time.
We as always start in Los Carasoles ( Spain ) and  this time we finish in La Alfoquia (which has shops and etc ) at the end of this walk is the old railway station

This route is a relatively easy route but like going the other way the track surface is large gravel. As it heads towards LA AlfoQuia it pass though several cutting which the abundance of bird life have burrowed out into nest , meaning when your passing there is if your quite enough a chance of seeing some interesting birds including birds of prey and Grouse, plus many small types of birds. During the walk you will pass over a other dry river which is spanned by an old and quite tail stone bridge which offers some stunning vistas in all 360 degree's.  As with the first route this route is also alive with rabbits.

This stretch of the route also offers along it's route access to numerous other walking routes. And is an enjoyable way to get to AlfoQuia on foot without having to walk along the roads. 

Don't rush on this route take your time enjoy the many views and soak in the smells of lavender the sights and sounds

Walking along spanish rivers

Spain is an amazing country with stunning and varied landscapes that offer plenty of different types of walks for people of all levels and abilities

Carrying on from Part 2 ( walking on dry river beds in Spain ) as I said in that if you follow that river (dry as it is ) you will reach the Rio Almanzora which is far from dry and that is the route of todays walk. As always I started from Los Carasoles I will skip the dry river bed section and start at the Almanzora.

This river is not at this time of year what you would call might to be honest far from it, it is a humble little river but a lovely river and a lovely walk never the less ( if you don't like getting your feet wet than this is not the walk for you as due to the river meandering course you will have to wade thought it's shallow but clear and warmish waters )

The River's depth varies from only a few centimetres to no more than a couple of feet on the stretch I Walked. While the river seemed to be void of fish it was far from void of life and is teaming with bird and insect life. And walking with the sound of running water is a lovely thing.

The river I noticed likes to split off from it's self and run as two water course before re joining it's self again

( not suitable for people in wheel chairs or with push chairs )

This route is a little more challenging than the other two I have discussed but is not that hard a walk over all  

Walking on dry river beds in Spain

Carrying on from our first part as I mentioned you cross the dry river bed ( mainly dry there are some channels with water where streams join but these peter out after a while as there is just not sufficient water to fill the river (Rio) When you reach the river bed it provides you with a new route all in its own right. A route that is different from many as your not just following the course of the river but in the course of the river providing a angle on the world you don't always get (written in April and the river is dry ) (But I am sure it is full of water in Winter at least )
In this stretch's case you can see parts of the railway lines construction that would otherwise be hidden and find hidden little creeks ( Cala) that are not visible from the main walk ( discussed in part 1 ) above

This route also starts / finish from Los Carasoles near Albox just walk along the river bed as far as you like there are many exits and even vans and cars drive along it on occasion's ( I started from the Railway bridge and finished in los Carasoles )

And as with the other route you get the feeling your at times the only person for miles (which I doubt you are ) which can be a very nice feeling  

If you follow this river down stream you reach the River of Almanzora which has water in it and is flowing

Once again it is relatively easy terrain bring water and decent foot wear and most people of all ages will be more than capable of this one

May not be suitable for push chairs and wheel chairs

(this is part 2 of my walking routes series Part 1 can be found here )

How far?

From our base near Albox in the Almeria region of Spain we are here at European relocation services in striking distance of many places

But just how far are we from some key places

Antas = 11.2 miles/ 18.1km (apx15mins)
Vera = 17.1 miles/27.5km (apx 20mins)
Baza = 49.5 Miles/79.6km ( apx 58mins)
Lorca = 32 miles /51.3km (Apx 38mins)
Almeria = 43 miles / 69.5 km
Benidorm  =148 miles / 238km ( along the A7 and on our main route when we are heading towards France / UK or other areas of Europe ) (A roads in Spain are the motorways which I am sure you know)
Alicante =  121 miles / 195 km
A7 motorway =  3.5 miles / 5.5 km away from an access point ( this motorway runs along the coast )
Vera = 14.2 miles / 22.9 km 
Murcia = 76 miles /122 km ( nearest Ikea from our region is based here )
Granada = 112 miles / 180km
Madrid = 318 miles / 512 km
Gibraltar =  275 miles /443 km
Malaga =  190 miles / 306 km
Valencia =  213 miles / 342 km
We are approximately 520 miles to the French - Spanish boarder at surpont tunnel

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
