Route

Description

Linear route approx. 2.2km (Outbound) of low difficulty starting in Kobaron district (for those with reduced mobility better to start here, because it’s not feasible from Pobeña due to a steep slope with stairs) and ending in Pobeña district. You can lengthen the route 3km if you continue through the green belt of Piquillo direction of Ontón. The Green Belt of Itsaslur is the old railway track layout. The trail runs parallel to the coastline without slopes but with large bends making its route easy and comfortable. Throughout the green belt you come across natural spaces, cultural enclaves (industrial archaeology remains) due to the mining history of the area. The gentle railway layout means you can do it comfortably without much physical effort so you can do it yourself following the signs/a map.

Suitable for people with reduced mobility (PRM)
