Spain's Greenways network is an initiative of the Spanish Railway Foundation that has converted disused railway infrastructure into routes for hikers and cyclists. One of these is the Tarazonica Greenway.
The Tudela-Tarazona railway opened in 1885. It was known as El Tarazonica and as "Escachamatas" among locals because it could not exceed 20 km/h (12.2 mi) until its track was widened in 1953. The line was closed in 1995, and in the summer of 2000, it was inaugurated as a greenway.
The Tarazonica Greenway is perfect for a pleasant walk or bike ride. It's 22 km long and has a gentle gradient of 262 to 478 meters, making it easy to explore with children.
During the walk, you can admire the rural areas of the Ribera del Ebro, with their gentle landscapes leading us to the Aragonese countryside for the final 9 km, the irrigated meadows and the Moncayo foothills. The Tarazonica line had three stops: Tudela, Cascante, and Tarazona, and three stops: Murchante, Tulebras, and Malón. Rest areas are available at each stop and halt, allowing you to recharge your batteries and admire the scenery.
The Tarazonica Green Route is also known as the Monument Route, as along its route we find the Tudela Cathedral, which we would have to access from the city itself, but it is highly recommended to visit the Tarazona Cathedral, which has just reopened its doors after 30 years of closure for renovation.
From the road itself, we can see the Hermitage of the Virgin of Romero in Cascante, with its impressive staircase of arches leading to the Hermitage itself. And in Tulebras, we have the Monastery of Santa María de la Caridad, the first Cistercian convent in Spain from the 12th century. This site is curiously linked to the greenway, as the old Tulebras station building is incorporated into the monastic complex, leaving its porches and platforms open for the enjoyment of travelers.
