Abandoned station

We cycled part of the Via Verda today from Bot to Arnes. It's an old railway track which has been converted to a paved walking/cycle track. The old stations and buildings along the way were overgrown, falling down with rubble everywhere and room beams on the ground. There were 8 tunnels, mostly solar lit, and 3 viaducts to cross. I'm not keen on the tunnels, so I walked some of them. However, it was a very pleasant route with sunshine all the way.

Despite it being abandoned, it still has it's own charm. You've having a wonderfully adventurous holiday and congrats on getting through the tunnels.

Doesn’t look too bad until you zoom in! Must have been nice once upon a time!

[Pat Knowles]

It would be nice coming out of the tunnels into the sunshine but it must have accentuated the dark.

It's a shame about this place. There could be a nice cafe on the route here.

@haskar Actually there was one small cafe near to where we started. We just had coffee but they did do food as well.

Like you I hate cycling through dark tunnels when it's bright outside, it becomes an act of faith as I can't see the road. I used to have reactolite glasses and they were even worse.
