The Via Verde is an approximately 30km long cycling and hiking trail. It runs from Manacor via Sant Llorenç, Son Carrió, and Son Servera to Artà and was opened in 2014.
The Via Verde is the former railway line between Manacor and Arta. From 1921 until the seventies, train traffic ran here until its closure in 1977. Afterwards, the route increasingly fell into disrepair, and several plans for reopening failed.
In 2014, it was transformed into a cycling and hiking path.
More than 13,000 shrubs and about 45,000 trees were planted along the route, including mulberry trees, pines, and holm oaks, which are under special protection.
You will find information boards along the Via Verde with interesting details about the flora and fauna as well as about the places along the route.

Our long run starts in the medieval town of Arta at the old station. Here, the original use of the Via Verde is still clearly visible. Along the way, we also repeatedly pass disused stations.
It initially goes southeast, tending slightly downhill. The path can easily be run with all types of running shoes. The shortest connection to Cala Millor is just under 15 km.
