Did you know that the largest zip line in Europe is in Spain ?. Yes, it is in a town called Hoz de Jaca, in the Valley of Tena, Huesca, Spain Northeast.
The Valley of Tena
This zip-line measures 950 metres in length and it is 1270 metres high, over the reservoir of Búbal. The slope of the zip line is 115 metres and, next to another person, --because there are two parallel cables. So, 32 people can descend each hour--, you can descend to 90 kilometres per hour.
