Description of the Rural Pathways Program

The program for rural pathways has provided the improvement of many kilometers of rural paths and roads throughout the Spanish geography. The main objective of this program is to maximize to the best advantage the pre-existing rural routes, bridleways, cattle trails or abandoned railway lines to maximize the development of rural infrastructure and provide greater access to the natural environment for the general public and tourists.

Technical assistance for the Rural Pathways Program

Thanks to the increase in awareness and respect for the nature and the environment, countless disused rural infrastructures have been recovered transforming them to become accessible for recreational use. This program has also enabled for the access to new routes into the countryside and this is noted by the increase of rural tourism in Spain.

The development of the vast network of rural infrastructures (from small pathways to long routes) has enabled a sustainable development for the rural countryside while tourists as well as the local population, can enjoy new experiences close to nature whether they be hikers, cyclists or for horse riding.
