The cycle path is a green way to approach Granada. But it is not that special. Rather a missed opportunity to make something beautiful of it.

There are several points here: a water crossing point, a new bicycle bridge and a bicycle tunnel under the Rio Genil.

The cycle path along the Río Genil is a popular route for cyclists in the Granada region. It offers beautiful scenery, easy routing and is suitable for both leisure and sporty cyclists. A particularly beautiful route leads from Granada to Purchil and further through the Vega de Granada, a beautiful, fertile valley with agricultural land.

For those who normally only cycle over bridges, tunnels on cycle paths are a practical and welcome change. The cycle path along the Río Genil towards Purchil is a great way to enjoy nature while riding a relatively flat route. The Río Genil flows through the province of Granada and the region is known for its beautiful scenery and a variety of cycle paths suitable for both beginners and experienced cyclists.
