点评:We had a wonderful day on the via verde riding from Olvera to Coripe. It is a track with light gravel that runs amongst the olive groves. You certainly get away from civilisation - other than the olive groves you ride through a remote valley with almost no houses and no roads. There is no water apart from at the estacion buildings or the cantina (see below).
You ride through many tunnels that cut through the hillsides. We enjoyed this part of it. It does get quite dark but we were fine relying on the lights in the longer tunnels.
The most beautiful part was the Zaframagon which is overlooked by spectacular cliffs and a colony of soaring vultures. We stopped at the astronomy cantina at Zaframagon which serves coffee/beer/juice and some cakes (but not food for lunch). It's only open Sat/Sun/holidays. It would be lovely to spend more time here looking for wildlife or stars!
There were also cafes in the station buildings of both Olvera and Coripe which looked nice, but we didn't go in to them.
We hired bikes in Olvera. The adult bikes were in very good condition, though the gear change was stiff on the smaller (20" child bikes). I imagine the child bikes are used less. The nice man at the rental place also gave us a way to tow the child bike using an inner tube which we ended up not using.
We decided to ride to Coripe and get a taxi van back to Olvera. Although these places are only 18km by bike it is a slow drive of more than 40 km by many winding roads! This taxi cost 70 euros and I'd recommend calling them ahead to arrange pick-up. We got picked up at Estacion Coripe so we didn't have to climb up to Coripe itself.
If you want an easy ride that returns to your start point I'd probably recommend starting at Coripe and riding uphill towards Olvera so that you have a downhill return. The steepest part (though never very steep as it is still a train line) is the last stretch to Olvera.
翻译:我们沿着绿色之路(Via Verde)从奥尔韦拉(Olvera)骑行到科里佩(Coripe),度过了美好的一天。这条路是一条铺着碎石的小径,蜿蜒穿过橄榄树林。你绝对可以远离尘嚣——除了橄榄树林,你骑行在一个偏僻的山谷,几乎没有房屋和道路。除了驿站建筑和酒馆(见下文)之外,沿途没有其他水源。
你会穿过许多穿过山坡的隧道。我们很喜欢这段路程。隧道里会变得很黑,但我们依靠较长隧道里的照明灯,所以没问题。
最美的景色是扎夫拉马贡(Zaframagon),那里有壮观的悬崖和翱翔的秃鹫群。我们在扎夫拉马贡的天文酒馆(Astronomy Cantina)停了下来,那里供应咖啡、啤酒、果汁和一些蛋糕(但不提供午餐)。酒馆只在周六、周日和节假日开放。如果能在这里多待一会儿,看看野生动物或星空,那就太好了!
奥尔韦拉和科里佩的火车站大楼里都有咖啡馆,看起来不错,但我们没有进去。
我们在奥尔韦拉租了自行车。成人自行车状况非常好,不过小号(20寸儿童自行车)的变速器有点紧。我猜想儿童自行车的使用频率应该比较低。租车点的那位好心人还给了我们一个用内胎拖儿童自行车的办法,不过我们最后没用上。
我们决定骑车到科里佩(Coripe),然后打车回奥尔韦拉(Olvera)。虽然这两个地方骑车只有18公里,但开车的话要走40多公里,而且路途蜿蜒曲折,非常慢!这辆出租车花了70欧元,我建议提前打电话预约接送。我们是在科里佩火车站(Estacion Coripe)上车的,所以不用爬坡到科里佩。
如果你想轻松骑行,最终回到起点,我建议从科里佩出发,然后骑车上坡前往奥尔韦拉,这样回程就可以下坡了。最陡的路段(虽然因为是铁路线,所以坡度并不算很陡)是最后一段到奥尔韦拉的路。
