Bayones river path adapted for the blind

 

This trail for the blind is a simple 2-kilometer route. It’s located in the La Campa de Ucieda (also known as Casa del Monte) recreational area. The start of the trail is about 700 meters ahead. Although you can arrive by car, we recommend going on foot, that way your 2-kilometer route becomes 4. It’s highly recommended for families because it can be turned into an educational experience: take a blindfold, and whether you’re a child or adult, try reading the signs throughout the first kilometer of the route with your hands. Each sign represents animals or embossed plants and their descriptions are in braille.
