The Via Verda de la Cantera is a scenic walking and cycling path in Alicante that repurposes an old narrow-gauge railway line. Stretching 1,200 meters, it connects Albufereta Beach to Postiguet Beach, offering stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea and the surrounding landscape. This route is particularly appreciated by nature lovers and those looking to escape the noise of the city, making it a popular spot for walking, jogging, and cycling.
As you traverse the Via Verda, you'll encounter several tunnels and viewpoints that enhance the experience. The path is well-maintained, with a mix of compacted earth and some paved sections, making it accessible for various activities. Along the way, there are benches for resting and enjoying the views, especially at sunrise when the scenery is particularly beautiful. While the route is generally peaceful, be mindful of children and cyclists, as there are areas without clear separation between pedestrians and bikes.
The Via Verda is open year-round and is free to access, making it an excellent option for a day out. It's best visited early in the morning or later in the afternoon to avoid the heat, especially in summer. To get there, you can start from the Sangueta tram stop, where you'll find a dirt parking area, though parking can be limited. Alternatively, you can reach the path from Postiguet Beach, which has more parking options but can get crowded. Bring water and sunscreen, especially during the hotter months.
