Bicycle Trips from Puerto Real - Trailhead (part 1)

I live on the edge of a place called El Parque de las Cañadas (The Trail Park). Which happens to be on a bay that gets 300+ days of sunny, warm riding weather, even in the middle of winter. As if that weren't enough, two new long distance trails now meet right in the middle of El Parque.

The nearby train station has easy access, so you can start making plans.

The image to the left shows the trailhead which is only about 600 meters from the train stain. Unfortunately the station is being rebuilt, so the instructions might be a bit tricky at first. When you get off the train keep the old town and the distant Atlantic behind you. The station has now been torn down. The temporary station is on the other side of the tracks, about 500 meters farther from the trailhead. Now all you have to do is turn right when you exit the station. Just follow the road parallel to the tracks and you will come to the trailhead. A pretty Mediterranean Pine forest should be visible not too far off in the distance ahead of you. Looking in this direction and standing on the inland side of the tracks (away from the town), turn right. You should be on a quiet road with sidewalks that runs along the railway to your right, and offers views of the pines off to the left. Soon you should come right up to the pines. A large information board with map marks the trailhead. Follow the dirt road that starts here. The pines should be on your left and the last group of houses to your right as the trail heads out across the fields.
