D’ EUSKADI
hanks to its industrial past, back in the late 19th century,
Tthe Basque Country developed one of the densest railway
networks in the whole Iberian Peninsula. This territory’s

centres with raw material mining areas and external markets,
boosting the Basque Country’s socio-economic development.
Currently, the Basque Country has managed to recondition
10 Green Ways, featuring over 180 km of former train tracks
which reveal the history, culture and nature of this beautiful
area.
