The FEVE is a narrow gauge railway vehicle, Chris called it a bus on wheels, that is State owned and runs every half hour through scenic and interesting countryside. We started the journey at the furthermost point of the line, Los Nietos a small coastal town, the ticket office is locked and looks very abandoned , so we assumed we paid on the train.
10.20am the single carriage arrived and Chris was right it did look like a bus on rails, we were the only passengers as we left the station. However it stops about a dozen times before it completes the eleven mile journey and we paid our €1.45 (about a pound) for the most interesting journey through fields of crops, deep canyons and interesting industrial working from long ago. By the time we arrived in Cartagena it was full of people.
Clean and comfy seats that rotate with the use of a foot pedal, so you can always face the way you are going.
Arriving in Cartagena
Waiting for the lift to the castle, see a previous post about the scary lift!
Peacocks roam the grounds, and this male posed for a photo, while I on the other hand am falling in love with these tree roots.
The castle and it’s grounds are very impressive, but with a lot of steep walks
and many many steps it was quite a challenge to keep going with my knees
One of the reasons for the return visit was to see the castle and the amphitheater
We were not disappointed in either, they are amazing.

Very nice report and photos. I love roots and such too and take pictures. From what time is the amphitheater? Looks great.
