XTreme Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 I've been continuing to follow the path of the former railway line that ran from Guadix (Granada) through Almeria, and ending up in Lorca (Murcia). I've done Caniles and Seron stations.......and today I went to find Baul. This one was quite interesting as it hasn't been restored.....it remains as it was when it closed in 1984. So it's very authentic. And just further on from the Station is the Baul Railway Bridge! It's a complex wrought iron structure that was assembled in 1907 to complete the line between Guadix and Baza. The last train to run across the bridge was on 31 December 1984.......and the line was then closed. Some great shots on the bridge itself.......had to walk as it's blocked off to vehicles! What a photo opportunity that would have been! My Ewan and Charley moment stolen from me! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 What is that small, square building with the steel tank looking thing on top? Water storage? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd get more than a bollocking Bob.....as it's classed as "vias verdes".......greenways. There's 2900 kms of them traversing Spain. I would expect a 4 figure fine and points taken off licence (it works the opposite way to the UK). Hikers, bicycle twats no problem. Anything motorised and shit hits the fan! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
