The old railway station has been recovered as a restaurant. It is the ideal place to make a stop on the road.

Resto is open and very popular. Today - beer, salad & burger - excellent. It's very popular at the weekend with people spilling out onto the Via Verde, so caution is required. The building is beautiful. the front awning less so. When the sides are down in colder days it doesn't look great, but don't let this put you off. At least stop for a beer.

BEWARE - The Tunnel is not always lit. If you ride on any Via Verde that have tunnels long enough to be dark in sections, you need lights. There are 2 tunnels in the VV between Mula and Caravaca that are long. There are no buttons to press so they should be automatic. In the first no lights came on at all and in the second the lights only came on when I was in the middle. They should either be always on (solar) or come on via sensors, this did not happen.
