As part of a week of activities celebrating the Via Verde (Green way), the 36 km (22 mile) long tourist trail along a disused railway track between Olvera and Puerto Serrano, we walked down to the Estación de Olvera to see the start of the junior cycle event.

The wild flowers, in particular poppies, are out in abundance at the moment.

The cyclists were aged I would guess between 10 and 16 years of age and were drawn from schools in Olvera and others in the province of Cadiz.
Their route was a 21 km (13 mile) stretch of the Via Verde between Olvera and Coripe on a warm day with some cloud.
