Everything is going well until the Vía Verde draws a large arc towards the south, enters the large channel of the Rambla de Baza and the Caniles iron bridge appears. The central planks have disappeared and you have to walk carefully along the sides. A sign at the entrance to the bridge recommends the parallel lane to avoid unnecessary risks. The tall chimney of the old Nuestra Señora de las Mercedes sugar factory announces the arrival at the Caniles station, which had an important weight in railway trade from its inauguration, in 1894, until the middle of the 20th century, when the decline of the road that connected Andalusia and the Levant. The buildings have been restored and converted into the Geodiversity Interpretation Center of the Granada Altiplano. In Baza you have to leave the route of the Greenway and visit the historical complex, passing by the Fuente de los Caños Dorados, the Plaza Mayor, the Barrio de San Juan, the alleys of the Jewish quarter, the Old Butcher Shops, the Arrabal de Marzuela , even entering the Arab Baths, and taking the opportunity to have some local delicacies and recover energy for the rest of the stage.

The Alcazaba de Baza was a fortification located in the urban area of the Granada town of Baza, Spain. Although only some sections of the wall and remains of several towers remain today, the Alcazaba de Baza was once an almost impregnable fortress. Its walls present three construction phases: a first from the 11th-12th century, another Nasrid and a last, already Christian, from the 16th century. It is located in the heart of the Historic Center of the city, dominating the old medina. 🌿🏰
